The Coast Guard and CBP stopped a boat carrying 21 illegal immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador heading toward San Diego on Monday evening.
The U.S. Coast Guard on Monday evening intercepted a boat carrying 21 illegal immigrants from three countries headed toward San Diego. U.S. Customs and Border Protection notified Coast Guard officials at the Joint Harbor Operations Center around 10:45 p.m. of a 40-foot panga-style vessel traveling north approximately 40 miles from the maritime boundary line, the Coast Guard said in a Wednesday press release.
The passengers were safely transferred to CBP custody. The boat encounter comes amid a national crackdown on illegal immigration and border security under the new Trump administration. The Coast Guard is also supporting the national transportation of illegal immigrants to designated locations in Texas and California, where the Department of Defense will then transport those in custody internationally.
