A small craft advisory was in effect Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service, which noted, 'Conditions will be hazardous to small craft." 'They were not tourists," Coast Guard Petty Officer Chris Sappey told the AP. 'They are believed to be migrants." Sappey later told CNN while, 'vessels coming up in the past have, under similar circumstances, been migrants," the immigration status of the passengers 'is not confirmed at all yet." In 2023, eight people were killed when two migrant smuggling boats approached a San Diego beach amid heavy fog. One boat capsized in the surf, marking one of the deadliest human smuggling operations ever in the US. (with inputs from agencies) First Published: May 06, 2025, 06:46 IST
