US EditionUS Coast Guard shoots out migrant boat engine in high speed chase
- A U.S. Coast Guard crew based in San Diego stopped an 18-foot boat smuggling eight illegal migrants near Point Loma on May 10, 2025.
- The crew fired four shots into the boat’s engine after repeated verbal commands and warning shots failed to stop the vessel during a high-speed chase.

- On May 10, the Coast Guard interrupted this pursuit as part of at least three separate human smuggling attempts in the area, reflecting an increase in maritime trafficking linked to enhanced southern land border security.
- The Coast Guard’s continued enforcement efforts, including high-value drug and human smuggling interdictions, underscore ongoing challenges securing maritime borders in Southern California waters.
