The Coast Guard has announced it will be sending “aircraft, boats and deployable specialized forces” to the “Gulf of America” in an effort to curb illegal immigration and the flow of drugs.
The move comes following President Donald Trump’s executive order that changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The executive order gives the Department of the Interior 30 days to take “all appropriate action” needed to codify the new name.
