We can take criminals out they’re not going to know about, and maybe they don’t have the legal authority to do what we can,” Trump said during the press conference.

Audio recordings released by the Coast Guard capture the distress of a family who was rescued two days after their boat caught fire and sank, forcing them to swim to a private island.

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a family of three stranded on a small island off the coast of Cape Cod on Wednesday morning.

Scott Backholm, a search and rescue mission coordinator from Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England, commended the family's quick thinking and quality equipment for their survival and ability to call for help. Naushon Island, where the family took refuge, is the largest of the Elizabeth Islands chain between Buzzards Bay and Martha’s Vineyard.
