Marine Unit Intercepts Smuggling Vessel, Arrests 14 Illegal Aliens at Gunpoint Near Newport Beach, California (VIDEO)

A Marine unit intercepted a smuggling vessel with 14 illegal aliens near Newport Beach, California, over the weekend.

Newport Beach is a wealthy, conservative enclave in Orange County about 95 miles from the Mexican border.

Several smuggling vessels have made it to Newport Beach’s Balboa docks over the last few months.

This time, CBP intercepted the smuggling boat before it reached land and arrested the illegals at gunpoint.

“On October 3, the Long Beach Marine Unit intercepted a vessel south of Newport Beach, California, carrying 14 illegal aliens,” CBPAMO said.

“The crew safely transported all 14 individuals to the US Coast Guard dock in Newport Beach, where one individual was evaluated and cleared by EMS. US Border Patrol assumed custody for processing, and the vessel was seized,” CBPAMO said.

The vessel was carrying 11 military aged males, two women and one minor male, Fox News reported.

Last month, a boat full of illegals docked in Newport Beach, and the occupants of the vessel ran into the coastal neighborhood and disappeared.

According to Fox News, federal court records revealed a Mexican national previously convicted of human smuggling was waiting near the Balboa Fun Zone over the weekend waiting to pick up the illegal aliens arriving by boat.
