The U.S. Coast Guard is sending more resources to deal with “mass migration” into the United States through its maritime border, according to an announcement Tuesday from the maritime law enforcement agency’s commandant.
“Per the President’s Executive Orders, I have directed my operational commanders to immediately surge assets—cutters, aircraft, boats and deployable specialized forces—to increase Coast Guard presence and focus,” acting Coast Guard commandant Adm. Kevin Lunday said in a statement.
