A boat loaded with 20 migrants from Mexico and China was intercepted on the high seas while trying to make it to the California shoreline, the US Coast Guard said in a release. The 30-foot “panga-style” boat was about 21 miles off the coast of Point Loma near San Diego when it was spotted around 4 p.

The United States Coast Guard intercepted 20 illegal immigrants on a "30-foot-panga-style vessel" off the coast of California on Tuesday.

The Coast Guard continues to assist in migrant deportations, including shipping 132 Haitians back home this week after intercepting their ‘overloaded’ boat.
