U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detained 18 people on Dec. 21 believed to have illegally entered the country, after their boat sped past two CBP agents who were investigating another boat in Newport Harbor in Southern California.
Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Harbor Patrol was called to the 2200 block of Newport Boulevard at around 7:30 a.m. regarding a suspicious abandoned boat that was unfamiliar, Sgt. Todd Hylton told The Epoch Times.
