🚨 INSIDE THE U.S. COAST GUARD'S COCAINE SEIZURE AT SEA
In this video, we showcase the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stone and the Coast Guard's continued operations to control, secure, and defend the southern border and maritime approaches. Applying the full range of our unique authorities and capabilities, the men and women of the Coast Guard are doing everything in their power to keep drugs off our streets and ensure our communities are safe.
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stone recently offloaded over 45,600 pounds of cocaine worth $517.5 million at Port Everglades following 14 high-stakes drug interdictions in international waters.
These operations, spanning from the Eastern Pacific Ocean to the waters off Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, and Costa Rica, resulted in the apprehension of 35 suspected smugglers—a major blow to transnational drug cartels, including Sinaloa and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación.
