U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Southwest Phone: (206) 815-6689

SAN DIEGO — The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Forrest Rednour (WPC-1129) interdicted 13 aliens aboard a 25-foot cuddy cabin approximately 23 miles west of Point Loma, California, Thursday.

At approximately 5:45 a.m., the cutter’s boarding team intercepted a vessel carrying ten adults and three minors-with all three minors accompanied by their mother. One claimed Guatemalan nationality and the other 12 claimed Mexican nationality.

Crewmembers aboard the Forrest Rednour confiscated the vessel, detained all 13 people, and transferred them to another DHS agency.
