Six Suspected in Deadly Human Smuggling Incidents at California’s Southwest Border


United States Coast Guard officials in California have identified six suspects in connection with deadly human smuggling events that occurred at the southwest border last week. The incidents, which took place between December 23 and December 29, involved more than 60 individuals and tragically resulted in multiple fatalities1.

In a statement posted on their X account, the USCG emphasized the dangers of these operations, noting that “taking to the ocean in unseaworthy vessels with unlicensed captains in cold, unforgiving waters is deadly.” The exact number of lives lost has not been disclosed1.

This recent surge in smuggling attempts follows a similar incident earlier in December, where 14 suspects were identified in connection with human smuggling events involving 73 individuals over a seven-day period.

The USCG continues to investigate these tragic events and urges the public to report any suspicious activities to help prevent further loss of life
