SAN DIEGO – The Coast Guard conducted alien expulsion flights Thursday between California and Texas.
These flights continue the Coast Guard’s actions to enforce the immigration laws of our country, in accordance with the president’s executive orders. Through these ongoing operations, the Coast Guard is detecting, deterring and interdicting aliens, drug smugglers and individuals intent on terrorism or other hostile activity before they reach the U.S. border.
Led by the Eleventh Coast Guard District in California, the Coast Guard is coordinating multiple units in support of this operation. The Coast Guard continues to surge assets and personnel from across the nation to support this Department of Homeland Security-led operation.
The Coast Guard’s role is to assist with transporting aliens to designated locations in Texas and California, where the Department of Defense will transport the aliens internationally.
