US Coast Guard triples number of guardsmen protecting the border — as migrant crackdown turns to the seas

NYP

The US Coast Guard has “tripled” the number of guardsmen deployed to protect the border — as the Trump administration shifts its attention to smugglers moving illegal migrants across the high seas.

The show of force comes as the number of migrant boats intercepted by the agency has shown no signs of slowing, despite a dramatic drop in illegal crossings over the US-Mexico border under President Trump’s major immigration crackdown.

“We’ve essentially tripled the amount of Coast Guard assets on the southern border,” Peter Nelson, Officer in Charge of Coast Guard Station San Diego, told Border Report. “This has happened in the last two months.” https://nypost.com/2025/04/04/us-news/us-coast-guard-triples-number-of-guardsmen-protecting-the-border/
