WATCH: US Coast Guard SMOKES Another Drug Boat | The Gateway Pundit | by Jordan Conradson
USCG smokes drug boat
The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday shared footage from US military operations in the Caribbean, where a Coast Guard vessel shot down another drug boat en route to US shores.
The US Coast Guard (USCG) executed the drug seizure and apprehension of smugglers under its Operation Pacific Viper, which launched last month in the Eastern Pacific.
USCG announced last Thursday that they had seized “more than 40,000 pounds of cocaine in the Eastern Pacific Ocean” and apprehended 36 smugglers during 14 interdictions since August 8.
Additionally, “Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton recently offloaded 76,140 pounds of illicit drugs, including 61,740 of cocaine and 14,400 of marijuana, in Port Everglades, Florida,” according to a press release. “This historic milestone was the largest offload in Coast Guard history, resulting from 19 interdictions in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.”
DHS shared footage from USCG operations this weekend, announcing on X that the Coast Guard’s Cutter Stone crew “conducted three interdictions in a single night” and seized “nearly 13,000 pounds of cocaine.”
Seven smugglers were apprehended in the three interdictions.
WATCH:
President Trump signaled that he plans to attack the cartels inside of Venezuela on Sunday, amid reports that he has approved options for the targeted strikes on Venezuelan soil.
“You’re about to find out,” Trump said when asked if he is considering attacks inside Venezuela.
This comes after President Trump announced last week that the United States carried out a successful strike on a Venezuelan boat that was attempting to smuggle drugs into the US.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump later posted footage of the strike and put the world on notice, saying, “Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!”
Thousands of Marines, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen have been deployed to the waters of the Caribbean as part of a “counter-cartel mission.” We’re already seeing the results.
