Coast Guard fires at Mexican smugglers along California coast after vessel rams patrol boat
-
Coast Guard members engaged in a high-stakes pursuit and opened fire to disable a vessel smuggling migrants off the coast of San Diego on January 5, 2025. The smugglers, Oscar Eduardo Audelo-Rodriquez and Francisco Brado-Cota, evaded initial Border Patrol efforts, ramming a Coast Guard vessel and throwing metal objects at its crew. Coast Guard personnel disabled the boat’s motor with gunfire, deployed pepper balls, and subdued the men with pepper spray during boarding. The two were arrested and identified as the vessel’s captain and co-captain, while migrants detained earlier reported paying between $7,000 and $19,000 for illegal entry into the U.S. The incident highlights the Coast Guard’s role in countering high-risk smuggling operations.
