Suspected illegal migrants land boat on San Diego beach and flee into wealthy village
Fox News has obtained footage of a speedboat full of suspected illegal immigrants landing on a beach in California on Tuesday and then fleeing into a wealthy seaside village.
The video, which was taken by a local resident who was in the water at the time, shows a white-colored speedboat dashing up toward Marine Street beach in La Jolla, about 10 miles north of downtown San Diego.
The group of around eight men can then be seen jumping off the boat and storming the beach. They run up through the beach and scatter into the village, leaving the boat abandoned in the water.

Jack Enright, the resident who shot the footage, told Fox News’ Bill Melugin that he was in the water and saw the speedboat whiz past him.
“I was taking photos of the waves on my GoPro in the water when all of a sudden I saw a boat flooring it right at me toward the beach,” Enright said.
“I moved slightly south and began recording. The boat then beached itself and eight or so people ran off the boat.”
“At that point, I was a bit worried they may be armed and kept a distance [and] continued to record.”
It is unclear if the migrants were ever caught.
The speedboat later sat in the water unmanned. (@enrightdigital )

La Jolla is home to Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, who bought a mansion there for $20.8 million in 2019, according to NBC. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, previously lived in La Jolla but sold his mansion there in 2021 for $23.5 million, according to The San Diego Tribune.
The beach is about 23 miles north of the southern border, although migrants are increasingly using boats to evade authorities, with San Diego becoming an ever more popular landing spot.
A separate video posted online last week showed another boat full of about 20 migrants land on a beach in La Jolla before they eventually fled the scene.
From September through November, U.S. border authorities have dropped off more than 42,000 people on San Diego County streets with no direction or assistance, The San Diego Tribune reported, citing county officials.

Those figures do not take into consideration the suspected illegal migrants like the ones seen in the videos.
The large majority of illegal crossings at the southern border are now happening in Arizona and California as a shift away from Texas continues, Melugin reports.
CBP sources told him there were 5,240 Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the southern border Wednesday, 3,854 of them (73.5%) were in Arizona and California.

The 4,140-sq-km bay is the largest estuary on the west coast of the US. Before 2018, this species of whales wasn’t known to stop seasonally or consistently in the bay, bypassing it on their migration route down to Baja California and back up the Arctic, said Josephine Slaathaug, who led a recent study on gray whale mortality in the bay.
For the first time in the team’s history, Altitude Sports is broadcasting Denver Nuggets home games in Spanish. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced it has contracted a team to broadcast its games in Spanish for the playoffs.
“I think that is what the public wanted,” said Ivan De La Garza, producer for the broadcast team.
A team of three people, two commentators and a producer, sit in a press box at the top of Ball Arena. Their commentary is then synced with the traditional Altitude broadcast video and shared on the Altitude Plus application.
“With the Nuggets winning in the last five years, there is a tremendous amount of following from Latino people trying to listen to and watch the games in Spanish,” said Andres Casas, color commentator for the broadcast.
Casas said he strives to bring the same energy fans get during soccer broadcasts into the basketball broadcasts.
“That excitement that gets you. We want people to feel they are at the game,” Casas said.
“It has been so amazing to be a part of the Spanish broadcast for the Nuggets. I have been a fan of the Nuggets for my whole life,” said Jena Garcia, play-by-play commentator.
Garcia said it has been a dream come true to help bring this broadcast to her community.
“I’ve always desired to hear a Spanish broadcast, just as a fan. To be a part of it is just incredible,” Garcia said.
Those working in the broadcast said they are honored to help expand the reach of the Nuggets and sports in accessing diverse communities.
“We love sports. We are passionate, we are loud. We like to get together and enjoy sports,” De La Garza said.
“The Nuggets have a huge following, especially on the Spanish side. So, it is great for them to be able to listen to what is going on, game by game, especially into the playoffs,” Casas said.
“It is just another step of access that they are getting to be a fan of basketball,” Garcia said.
