5 Missing, 1 Dead After Boat Capsized Off Coast of Florida
One person died and five remain missing after a boat capsized off the southeast coast of Florida. Four people were rescued roughly 29 miles off the Saint Lucie Inlet, according to officials. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) responded to the scene around 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 13, after receiving a report from a good Samaritan about an overturned vessel.
According to a report from Fox-affiliated station WSVN, one of the rescued individuals told authorities that the group had departed from the Bahamas and the vessel capsized on Friday.
The Martin County Fire Rescue (MCFR) confirmed via X that five people were located, with one deceased and four transported for medical evaluation. The rescued individuals were flown by helicopter to Stuart Airport.
In a follow-up post via X, MCFR said three of the patients had non-life-threatening injuries, while one suffered serious injuries. All were taken to Cleveland South Hospital for treatment.
Additional photos the rescue were shared via the Martin County Sheriff's Office Facebook account. The post also revealed some of the individuals rescued to be from the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Trump Suggests Arresting Gavin Newsom
Donald Trump on Monday suggested that California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested over his handling of unrest in Los Angeles, escalating tensions after the President mobilized the National Guard to quell anti-ICE protests over the weekend. "I would do it, if I were Tom. I think it is great,' Trump said when asked by a reporter if he supported a threat from his border czar Tom Homan to arrest state officials who obstruct federal immigration raids. 'Gavin likes the publicity but I think it would be a great thing. He's done a terrible job… Look, I like Gavin Newsom, he's a nice guy, but he's grossly incompetent.' Trump's comment comes as Los Angeles entered its fourth consecutive day of protests following large-scale immigration enforcement actions by federal agents across the city. Demonstrators have clashed with law enforcement in downtown streets, where barricades have been toppled, cars torched, and over 150 people arrested since Friday. Read More: What the National Guard Crackdown in LA Made Us See The unrest has been fueled in part by the Trump Administration's decision to unilaterally deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to the city under federal authority, bypassing the governor. Newsom, a Democrat many view as a 2028 presidential contender, has called the move 'unlawful' and vowed to file suit to block the federalization of the National Guard. 'There is currently no need for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles,' he wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday, calling it a 'serious breach of state sovereignty.' Tensions expanded after Homan warned that officials like Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could be arrested if they interfered with federal operations. 'It's a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It's a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job,' Homan told NBC News on Saturday. Though he conceded neither official had 'crossed the line yet,' he issued the warning nonetheless. Newsom called Homan's bluff in an interview with MSNBC on Sunday, urging Homan to 'just get it over with' and arrest him. 'He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me,' Newsom said. 'That kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let's go." Homan appeared to walk back his earlier remarks during a Monday appearance on 'Fox & Friends,' saying he was responding hypothetically to a reporter's question. 'There was no discussion about arresting Newsom,' he said. Even so, Trump's public backing of the idea marks a dramatic escalation in his second-term approach to political opposition—one increasingly defined by threats of criminal prosecution. It echoes his Justice Department's controversial arrest of Newark's Democratic Mayor Ras Baraka after a clash outside an ICE detention facility in New Jersey last month, though the charges were ultimately dropped. The Trump Administration has also charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with two counts of assaulting, resisting and impeding an officer from the same skirmish. The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to Los Angeles further strained the relationship between the White House and California. Legal scholars note that Trump's order to take command of the Guard—without invoking the Insurrection Act—treads into murky constitutional territory. The directive cited federal authority to ensure the continuity of government functions, a justification reminiscent of Cold War-era civil unrest crackdowns, but without clear precedent in a non-insurrection context. 'If we had not done so,' Trump wrote on Truth Social about his National Guard order, 'Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated.' He added, sarcastically, that Newsom and Bass 'should be saying, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL.'' Protests have also spread to other cities, including San Francisco, Sacramento, Chicago, and New York, where demonstrators are rallying in opposition to the raids and the arrest of a prominent labor leader. The Service Employees International Union is staging protests in more than two dozen cities on Monday, accusing the Administration of targeting immigrant communities and organized labor.
