U.S. Coast Guard and Navy crews intercepted an apparent human smuggling attempt off the coast of San Diego over the weekend, taking eight Mexican nationals into custody, authorities said Monday.
The suspected undocumented immigrants crossed into U.S. waters south of Point Loma in a 40-foot cabin cruiser at about 7 a.m. Saturday, according to USCG public affairs.
Personnel from the Coast Guard cutter Terrell Horne and USN guided-missile destroyer Spruance intercepted the boat about 3 1/2 hours later and took the occupants — seven men and a woman, all of whom claimed Mexican nationality — into custody without incident, officials said.
The Navy transferred the detainees to Department of Homeland Security agents in Oceanside, according to the Coast Guard.
