From July 1-7, 11 illegal maritime smuggling events occurred at the SouthWest border, involving 44 aliens. The sea is unpredictable and deadly for those unprepared. Smugglers don't care about safety. Don't take to the sea. #DontTakeToTheSea #SanDiego #USCG
UPDATE: Search efforts are still ongoing. Press release with the latest information can be found here: tinyurl.com/zhd2srsj
The @USCG is searching for a downed Cessna 414 with 6 POB, approx. 3 mi W of Pt. Loma. Currently searching are 1 Jayhawk helo from Air STA Ventura, 1 C-27 from Air STA Sacramento, CGC Sea Otter, 1 small boat each from STA SD & the MSST, as well as several partner agencies.
Migrants must be aware of what could happen out on the water. The sea can be dangerous, and conditions can change fast. Too many migrant lives are lost attempting the trip. #DontTakeToTheSea #USCG #SemperParatus U.S. Coast Guard graphic by PA3 Charlie Valor
