Border Patrol Agents Catch Men Trying to Enter U.S. on Jet Skis

Three men attempting to enter the United States illegally by ride on jet skis were arrested in Imperial Beach Calif., Wednesday morning, officials said.

Border Patrol agents spotted the two jet skis at about 12:46 a.m. Wednesday crossing from Mexico into the U.S. Agents notified the Joint Harbor Operations Center (JHOC) that then notified a CBP Office of Air and Marine (OAM) Coastal Interceptor “SAFE” boat that responded.

When the boat approached the jet skis they attempted to turn around and flee towards Mexico.

However, one jet ski lost control in the process and three adult men on board flipped into the water. The second jet ski fled back to Mexican waters.

After Border Patrol agents ran an immigration inspection, officials learned the men were in the U.S. illegally.

The jet ski was seized by the Border Patrol.
