 [NYPOST] A boat loaded with 20 migrants colonists from Mexico and China was intercepted on the high seas while trying to make it to the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, shoreline, the US Coast Guard said in a release.
The 30-foot ''panga-style'' boat was about 21 miles off the coast of Point Loma near San Diego when it was spotted around 4 p.m. on Tuesday — and cut off by Coast Guard Cutter Haddock.
They (USCG) seems to have upped their intercept game lately.
Photos and videos released by the guard show crews rushing to the vessel in the dark of night and taking the migrants colonists into custody — before the passengers were taken to San Diego and turned over to the Border Patrol.
The 20 migrants colonists — 17 men and three women — identified themselves as Mexican and Chinese nationals.
The operation is the latest in the Coast Guard's beefed up efforts to intercept immigrants colonists trying to enter the US in keeping with President Trump's call for mass deportations.
