Fourteen Mexican Nationals on a boat were seized by the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday 18 miles west of Pt. Loma, authorities said Sunday.<\/p>\n
The crew of Coast Guard Cutter Forrest Rednour detected a vessel at about 4:30 p.m. Friday and launched their boarding team to investigate, USCG officials said.<\/p>\n
The cutter’s boarding team intercepted 14 people aboard the 20-foot cuddy cabin and all of them claimed Mexican nationality, officials added.<\/p>\n
The boarding team transferred custody of the 14 people to a boat crew from Coast Guard Station San Diego. They were then transported to Ballast Point and transferred to another U.S. Department of Homeland Security agency for investigation.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported and no further details were released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fourteen Mexican Nationals on a boat were seized by the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday 18 miles west…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[15610,3536,14,3365,74,76,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-179700","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-coast-guard","9":"tag-department-of-homeland-security","10":"tag-immigration","11":"tag-point-loma","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-san-diego-headlines","14":"tag-san-diego-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
