Migrant boat lands near celebrity mansions in Malibu

They’re Malibu’s most wanted migrants.

A boat full with over two dozen suspected illegal migrants washed up on a Malibu beach near the $100 million oceanfront mansion of border wall-basher Barbra Streisand earlier this week, and federal authorities are still scrambling to track them down.

Video footage obtained by Fox News shows a migrant boat landing Tuesday just after 1 pm., about a half mile from the palatial 19-bedroom home owned by Streisand.

Some 25 people scattered onto the shore from the 25-foot panga boat — a type of vessel used by drug traffickers and human smugglers — footage of the wild scene shows.

The suspected migrants quickly scrambled from the scene, according to the video posted on X by Fox News.

The U.S. Coast Guard got a call around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday regarding the 25-foot-long vessel, and LA County Sheriff’s Malibu/Lost Hills Station confirmed that a panga boat was found sunk off the Malibu coast later in the day, FOX 11 reported.

Malibu — the ultra-exclusive stretch of California coast that celebs such as Lady Gaga, Cher, Will Smith, and Jennifer Aniston also call home — is a sanctuary city about 100 miles from the US southern border with Mexico, far from the usual frontier crossings used by migrants entering the US from Mexico.

Streisand, 81, is a longtime Democratic donor, and very critical of former president Trump’s plans to build a border wall along the nearly 2,000 mile stretch of the southern border with Mexico.

“Trump only cares about this ‘wall’ in order to build a monument to himself,” Streisand raged in a tweet in 2019.

“Just like the bankrupt ‘Trump’ buildings, the nation cannot afford to pay for his ego – – not financially, not morally.”

A year earlier she told Vogue magazine that Trump was her inspiration behind the song “Don’t Lie to Me.”

“Unless you’re an American Indian, you know, you’re a child or grandchild or great-grandchild of immigrants, even the president,” she told the magazine.

Streisand — who campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election — has vowed to leave the US if Trump is re-elected president.

“I can’t live in this country if he becomes president,” Streisand said last month on “The Late Show.”

The number of migrants crossing into the US has soared during the Biden Administration.

In the last fiscal year, Customs and Border Protection agents reported more than 2.48 million migrant “encounters” — the highest of any year on record.

The figure was up from 2.38 million encounters the previous fiscal year.

Streisand and Customs and Border Protection did not return requests for comment.
