The Coast Guard is increasing its resources in the Gulf of America and other waterways to fulfill President Trump's executive orders.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Coast Guard announced the deployment of personnel and equipment to various maritime borders in the United States, following the dismissal of its leader the previous day by President Donald Trump.

Adm. Kevin Lunday, the Acting Commandant of the Coast Guard, stated that coast guardsmen would work to prevent illegal migration in accordance with Trump's recently issued executive orders.

"The U.S. Coast Guard is the world's leading maritime law enforcement agency, responsible for safeguarding America's maritime borders, territorial integrity, and sovereignty. According to Lunday, the President's Executive Orders have instructed me to direct my operational commanders to immediately increase the Coast Guard's presence by deploying cutters, aircraft, boats, and specialized forces."

Authorities will concentrate their efforts on the waters off Florida, maritime borders around Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories to prevent migrants from Haiti and Cuba from entering the U.S.

Lunday stated in the release that the agency would focus on the "maritime border between Texas and Mexico in the Gulf of Mexico."

On Monday, Trump signed an executive order that renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" in honor of its importance to the nation's history and future.

The first time a federal agency has acknowledged the name change.

The Coast Guard announced plans to expand its search in the Pacific Ocean, targeting areas between the U.S. and Mexico, as well as the Bahamas and South Florida.

The Coast Guard will assist CBP in securing the southwest U.S. border on maritime sections.

In collaboration with our Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense colleagues, we will prevent illegal migration, drug smuggling, and other terrorist or hostile activities from entering our border.

On Monday, Trump issued a series of executive orders aimed at reducing illegal immigration.

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman fired Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, 61, amidst several other charges.

The Coast Guard removed Fagan due to inadequate leadership in recruitment and retention, mismanagement in acquiring key acquisitions, an excessive focus on DEI initiatives, and an "erosion of trust" over the mishandling of Operation Fouled Anchor.
