Coast Guard conducts alien expulsion flight operations between California, Texas

SAN DIEGO – The Coast Guard conducted alien expulsion flights Sunday between California and Texas.

These flights continue the Coast Guard’s actions to enforce the immigration laws of our country, in accordance with the president’s executive orders. Led by the Eleventh Coast Guard District in California, the Coast Guard is coordinating multiple units in support of this Department of Homeland Security-led operation.

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 our border. The Coast Guard continues to surge assets and personnel from across the nation to enhance presence in key areas and secure U.S. borders and maritime approaches.

The Coast Guard’s role is to assist with the transporting of aliens to designated locations in Texas and California, where the Department of Defense will transport the aliens internationally.
