The immigration policy of the US has been a joke for years. And it has encouraged some terrible behavior.
Now Trump received one report from the border that left him speechless.
The Biden border crisis isn’t just unfolding on land—it’s happening at sea, too.
The U.S. Coast Guard stopped an “overloaded” boat carrying 132 Haitian migrants about 50 miles off the Florida coast, sending them back home on Monday, officials confirmed.
The interception happened last week when the Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba spotted the 30-foot sailboat between Cuba and Cay Sal Bank, near Marathon, Florida.
Authorities swiftly intervened, preventing another illegal entry attempt into the United States.
Lt. Zane Carter of the Coast Guard’s District Seven made it clear that this administration is taking illegal immigration seriously.
“The Coast Guard will continue to prioritize strengthening our domestic integrity and disrupting attempts to enter the United States illegally by sea,” Carter stated in a press release.
“We are steadfast in our mission to safeguard America by securing our maritime borders.”
Once on board the Coast Guard vessel, the migrants were provided food, water, and medical attention before being repatriated to Haiti, according to the agency’s report.
Since October 1, a total of 313 Haitian migrants have been sent back after attempting to reach the U.S. illegally. These numbers underscore the ongoing challenges at the border, something President Donald Trump has vowed to tackle head-on since returning to office last month.
Under Trump’s leadership, immigration enforcement has ramped up significantly. The Coast Guard has expanded its efforts to stop illegal crossings, ensuring that migrants intercepted at sea don’t make it onto U.S. soil.
In addition to the maritime operation, federal officials also launched another round of their Alien Expulsion Flight Operation on Monday.
These flights are transporting detained migrants from across the country to Texas and California, where they are processed and sent back to their home countries.
Authorities say this crackdown is part of a broader strategy to restore order at the border.
“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 border,” officials noted in a separate release on Tuesday.
“The Coast Guard’s current role is to assist with the national transport of aliens to designated locations in Texas and California, where the Department of Defense will transport the aliens internationally.”
With President Trump back in charge, the days of weak enforcement and open-border policies are over. The administration is making it clear: illegal crossings—whether by land or by sea—will not be tolerated.
