A: Sorry, I provided the answer to a different question! Here is the answer I meant to provide:

Given that the question includes arrests by the U.S. Coast Guard, the answer would be yes. Also, if that is how you ultimately came into contact with Immigration authorities to seek asylum, USCIS is going to be aware of your apprehension by the Coast Guard.
