Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security Rebecca Zimmerman responded, noting that the DoD is “doing a number of things to ensure that we’re keeping track of the situation and we’re prepared.” “At the moment we have not yet seen large numbers, what we would characterise as a maritime mass migration, but we are alert to that possibility. I think you’re right that the driving conditions in Haiti could very well press more people,” Zimmerman further noted. Gaetz pressed the Pentagon official to consider deploying more naval vessels to support the Coast Guard, noting that “there is the ability for any president to designate an anticipated mass migration, and get gray hull naval vessels into the straits of Florida to deter that migration and then to repatriate those people before they get to Florida.” “I think you correctly said that there is an anticipated mass migration here, there are specific legal authorities that we can access that I would implore you to access, specifically, George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13276,” Gaetz pointed out.
