SkyRanger 7 flew over the scene on May 20, 2021, where officials rescued several people from the waters off La Jolla in a suspected human smuggling attempt. “In La Jolla off Marine Street, where agents first encountered the vessel, there were several subjects in the water in distress," one U.S. Border Patrol agent said in a press conference. SDFD said lifeguards deployed from Lifeguard Headquarters and from the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's Station 13 rescued 10 people in what was described as "rough water conditions." Some of those individuals had life vests on while others were seen holding onto one. All 10 of those people were brought aboard a rescue boat before they were transported back to shore. After being evaluated, eight people were taken to four nearby hospitals.
