Migrants detained by Coast Guard off Black’s Beach
The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted a boat off Black’s Beach in La Jolla that was transporting nine suspected undocumented migrants, authorities said Sunday.
Crew members on board the Coast Guard Cutter Robert Ward were patrolling about 19 miles off shore shortly after 11:30 a.m. Saturday when the ship encountered a cuddy-cabin vessel moving at a high rate of speed, according to the Coast Guard.
The cutter launched a boarding team to intercept the vessel and detained all nine individuals without the use of force. They all claimed Mexican nationality and were transported by the Coast Guard to another U.S. Department of Homeland Security agency at Ballast Point.
No injuries were reported.
