    While there is a fair chance he was in American waters, there’s an equal chance that the Coast Guard is lying. Too often we’ve seen American LEOs bullshit their way out of stunts that should have landed them in jail. Especially now when the orange huckster seems to be readying for war.

      Paraphrasing their statement, they claim that he capsized because he suddenly turned to ram them when they were trying to board him because he was a few yards inside the US border.

      I find hard to believe that someone in a small slow boat like that would decide to ram a law enforcement ship and this puts the rest of the statement in doubt.
