Coast Guard stops ship with illegal aliens from Haiti and takes them home

Coast Guard officials intercepted one scary boat that put Donald Trump on red alert

The Coast Guard is the last line of defense for the country’s coasts and business is picking up under the Trump administration.

Coast Guard officials intercepted one scary boat that put Donald Trump on red alert.

The southern border commands the lion’s share of the attention for illegal immigration. But Florida, with its more than 8,000 miles of coastline, is vulnerable to illegal immigration coming from the ocean.

A Coast Guard cutter stopped a 30-foot sailboat that was “overloaded” with potential illegal aliens from Haiti trying to make their way to Florida.

The sailboat carrying 132 Haitians was interdicted roughly 50 miles from the coast off of Marathon, Florida, in the Florida Keys.

Coast Guard officials turned the ship around and escorted it back to Haiti.

Patriots Day

Went to see Patriots Day with Mark Wahlberg. On April 15, 2013, two homemade bombs detonated 12 seconds and 210 yards apart at 2:49 p.m., near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring several hundred others, including 16 who lost limbs. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured in a boat in Watertown and sentenced to death for his many crimes, one of which was murdering an MIT policeman. He was a naturalized American citizen born in Kyrgyzstan who self-radicalized, at least in part, by watching Anwar al-Awlaki lectures. al-Awlaki also had duel citizenship, Yemen and the United States. Tsarnaev's appeal was denied. His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev whose U.S. citizenship request was pending at the time did us all a favor by being killed in a hail of police gunfire.
