[U.S. Coast Guard @USCG]

In fiscal year 2026, @USCG crews seized nearly 198,000 pounds of cocaine — more than 74M potentially lethal doses that never reached American communities.

That’s a second straight year above our historical average, following a record FY25: nearly 510,000 pounds of cocaine seized — more than 3X our annual average.

We’re continuing the fight against narco-terrorists through Operation Pacific Viper. Since August 2025, we’ve seized 260,000+ pounds of cocaine in the Eastern Pacific.

About 80% of seizures of U.S.-bound drugs happen at sea, underscoring the impact of maritime interdiction.

We stop the threat far at sea, before it reaches American communities. #USCG

Eyes on scene before the boat leaves the pier. 📷

Sector Southeastern New England and Office of Rapid Response and Prototyping (CG-RAPTOR) tested drones that launch remotely the moment a distress call comes in, streaming live video to watchstanders and cutting time to receive critical information by up to 77%.

@USCG is modernizing our capabilities to reduce response times and build a more agile, capable force.

66 aliens. A 30-foot makeshift boat. 70 nautical miles off Puerto Rico.

An HC-144 crew spotted it. USCGC Winslow Griesser (WPC 1116) interdicted it. Saturday, the crew repatriated 63 to the crews of Dominican Republic Navy vessels.

Protecting America’s sovereignty and territorial integrity starts far from our shores. Continuing our longstanding immigration enforcement mission, @USCG controls, secures, and defends U.S. borders and maritime approaches far at sea.

Delivering on historic investment. Modernizing our infrastructure.

The @USNavy awarded $271M in @USCG funds for major cutter homeport facilities at Naval Station Newport, RI – infrastructure improvements to support a modernized Coast Guard fleet for vital missions.

The project is funded in part by the historic investment in the Coast Guard provided by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – the largest capital investment in the Service’s history. Of the nearly $25B appropriated under OBBBA, the Service has ordered approximately $20B in assets, capability, and infrastructure.

Repairing infrastructure in Florida’s panhandle.

The @USNavy awarded $31.5M in @USCG funds to repair hurricane damage at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

The project provides structural and utility improvements to the north berth of Wharf Bravo and underwater structural repairs for both the north and south berths, extending the wharf’s service life and ensuring continued support for Coast Guard missions in the panhandle and beyond.

Thank you to @USNavy for their assistance in maintaining this vital infrastructure!

One year of Operation River Wall: boat crews running the river alongside U.S. Border Patrol and the Department of War, doing what the Coast Guard has done since 1790, and doing it with a layered, integrated approach to southern border security.

Through an unprecedented mobilization and innovative capabilities, we’re adapting to evolving threats and continuing our legacy of tactical boat operations. Operation River Wall is the latest chapter in that story: the right people, the right boats and the right authorities, delivering for the American people. 🇺🇸⚓

USCGC Tampa (WMEC 902) offloaded 29,600 pounds of cocaine and 3,355 pounds of marijuana in Port Everglades, worth an estimated $226.7 million.

The Portsmouth-based crew stopped it all at sea. Over six interdictions in the Eastern Pacific, Tampa teamed up with LEDET 102, HITRON, JATF-S, the Southwest District and the USS Gridley to find, track and stop the traffickers far from our shores.

Every pound seized cuts off cash to the criminal organizations behind the violence and overdoses that reach American communities.

It's all part of Operation Pacific Viper, where Coast Guard crews have now seized more than 260,000 pounds of cocaine.

This morning, I hit the mats with the D.C. National Guard’s Modern Combatives Program and @USCG for Brazilian jiu-jitsu training.

Their core focus is to build combat readiness, sharpen judgment under pressure, and strengthen the warrior ethos.

It was an honor to train alongside these men and women. Thank you for keeping D.C. and the Homeland safe.

$226 MILLION IN ILLICIT DRUGS INTERDICTED IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC.

Today, the @USCG announced the offload of six separate interdictions by the crews of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tampa during operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

We remain steadfast: the United States will stop narco-terrorists before they ever reach our shores.

[U.S. Coast Guard @USCG]

Responding in crisis. Saving lives.

The @USCG and good Samaritans assisted 42 crew members aboard life rafts following a vessel fire on the research vessel Rem Andes, ~100 NM south of Grand Isle, LA, on Monday.

A Clearwater C-27 Spartan intercepted the mayday call, joined by an ATC Mobile HC-144 and NOLA MH-60 Jayhawk crew. Good Samaritan offshore supply vessels safely transported all crew members to Port Fourchon. The fire is out, and commercial salvage is underway.
