It seems almost like a silly movie scene, but officials commented on the presumably real-life video that shows a pretty model's early morning photo shoot being interrupted by apparent undocumented migrants spilling out of a boat and across the sand in a popular area of Miami Beach.
It happened at 6 a.m. on the beach near 36th Street.

The photographer, Ekaterina Juskowski, said she was shooting video of her modeling friend when she noticed a boat in the background.
Thinking it was a scuba boat, she paused her video a moment.
But when she saw the men scrambling off the boat toward shore, she started recording again. As the men ran off, the boat bobbed on the water, empty and abandoned.
U.S. Border Patrol spokesperson Frank Miller commented on the incident, which was under investigation, saying, "That's a testament to how confident these organizations are — what we call transnational criminal organizations — who smuggle criminals and narcotics right onto the beach."
