Coast Guard detains more than 20 migrants on boat off California coast

Newport Beach, California, Mayor Will O’Neill is blasting state lawmakers after the Coast Guard apprehended 21 migrants who were on a boat nearly a mile off the coast on Thursday.

FOX 11 in Los Angeles reported that 18 of the migrants who were detained were from Mexico, while two were from Uzbekistan and one was from Russia.

"There’s no way you intend on trying to protect Uzbeki nationals coming in from our southern border," O’Neill said, directing his comments to California lawmakers.
