San Diego, United States - February 19, 2025 Point Loma, Calif.—In a dramatic high-seas confrontation, the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Haddock intercepted 20 aliens aboard a rickety 30-foot panga-style vessel on February 19, 2025, roughly 21 miles west of Point Loma, California. The perilous journey across open waters came to an abrupt end as authorities swooped in, thwarting what appeared to be a desperate bid for entry. The intercepted group was swiftly transported to Coast Guard Sector San Diego before being handed over to Imperial Beach Border Patrol personnel. The fate of these individuals now hangs in the balance, their daring attempt a stark reminder of the risks taken on the unforgiving Pacific.
