🚨 Coast Guard Stops Illegal Maritime Migration Off Florida Coast 🚨 The U.S. Coast Guard has intercepted three illegal smuggling operations in U.S. waters east of Miami, transferring 31 migrants of mixed nationalities to The Bahamas. Four suspected smugglers were taken into custody for further investigation and potential federal prosecution. Among the interdictions: ➡️ A 25-foot vessel carrying 22 people was stopped while speeding toward Florida without navigation lights. ➡️ A second vessel was intercepted near Palm Beach with two people onboard—one suspected smuggler and one Honduran migrant. ➡️ A third smuggling attempt was stopped near Key Biscayne, leading to 11 more migrants being detained and one person requiring medical evacuation. These dangerous maritime journeys put countless lives at risk. The Coast Guard, alongside Homeland Security Task Force – Southeast, maintains air, land, and sea patrols to prevent illegal entries and protect lives at sea. Anyone attempting to enter the U.S. illegally by boat will be interdicted and repatriated. Smugglers will face criminal prosecution. ⚠️ Do not put your life in the hands of smugglers. The risks are not worth it. #CoastGuard #BorderSecurity #MaritimeInterdiction #OperationVigilantSentry #StaySafe #HomelandSecurity

🚨 Coast Guard Seizes Over $275 Million in Cocaine 🚨 The crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche offloaded 37,256 pounds of cocaine in San Diego, with an estimated street value of over $275 million. These drugs were seized during 11 separate drug interdictions in the Eastern Pacific, targeting smuggling operations off the coasts of Mexico, Central, and South America. By stopping these shipments before they reach U.S. shores, the Coast Guard plays a crucial role in combating transnational crime and protecting communities from illegal narcotics. These missions disrupt major drug cartels that fuel violence, organized crime, and the trafficking of deadly substances like fentanyl. This effort is part of a multi-agency operation, with support from the Navy, CBP, FBI, DEA, and international partners working together to stop the flow of illicit drugs by sea. The men and women of the Coast Guard continue to intercept, seize, and prevent billions in narcotics from entering the country, ensuring the safety and security of our waters. Protecting our communities. Defending our waters. ⚓ #USCG #CoastGuard #DrugInterdiction #MaritimeSecurity #WarOnDrugs #BorderSecurity
