SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — More than two dozen people are in U.S. Border Patrol custody after their boat ran out of fuel just off the coast of Oceanside Monday morning, the United States Coast Guard Sector San Diego reports.

Oceanside lifeguards found a panga-style boat with 26 people aboard, who are believed to be migrants, that ran out of fuel about one mile offshore from Oceanside Harbor around 10:30 a.m. Monday.

After making sure there were no immediate safety concerns, lifeguards notified the Coast Guard and stayed with the boat until the Coast Guard Cutter Terrell Horne crew arrived.

The Coast Guard reports Terrell Horne’s crew deployed a boarding team and was able to safely take 26 people representing multiple nationalities — including Mexico, China and Vietnam — to shore.

The individuals were later transferred into U.S. Border Patrol custody. No further information was immediately available.
