INL advises POTUS, Sec. of State & USG on policies/programs to combat international narcotics & crime. RTs ≠ endorsement.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

Welcome back to INL, Assistant Secretary Cart Weiland. INL is confronting some of the most urgent threats facing the American people - from narco-terrorism and cartels to illicit drugs and cyber-enabled fraud. We look forward to continuing to advance America First security priorities under his leadership.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

US negotiators at #CCPCJ35 just secured two landmark resolutions to bolster global enforcement to dismantle online scam centers that target Americans, and to hold accountable online predators who target children through sextortion. All part of President Trump’s Executive Order on Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against Americans.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

Enough words; we need action. The United States calls on countries to take concrete steps to protect children from sextortion. President Trump’s Executive Order on Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against Americans directs action to combat sextortion, support victims, and hold perpetrators accountable. Strengthen laws. Prosecute offenders. Protect children online. #CCPCJ35

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

This week at the 35th CCPCJ in Vienna, the U.S. urges international action to prevent and combat the transnational sextortion of children. We will not wait. We will deploy every tool in our arsenal—sanctions, visa restrictions, prosecutions, extraditions, and more— to dismantle these networks and protect our citizens.

[U.S. Embassy Tegucigalpa @usembassyhn]

Siete funcionarios hondureños completaron una capacitación impartida por expertos de @StateINL con el fin de fortalecer sus capacidades para construir casos sólidos contra estructuras de pandillas y el desmantelamiento de organizaciones criminales transnacionales que amenazan la región.

Esto refleja la sólida cooperación entre 🇺🇸 y 🇭🇳 para hacer frente al crimen organizado y promover la seguridad regional.

[U.S. Mission to the UN (Vienna) @usunvie]

At the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, the United States called for urgent international action against the transnational sextortion of children.

With American families paying close attention—families who have lost their children to this crime—the United States honored their grief, their courage, and their call for accountability. We will continue working to protect children, pursue predators, and urge governments and platforms to do more to prevent these tragedies. #CCPCJ35

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country. 

Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. 

The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.

We’re taking down insidious scam centers who prey on Americans. $10 MILLION REWARD for information that disrupts the Tai Chang scam centers in Burma. Have a tip? Contact the FBI at [email protected]. https://t.co/DyMpWyR3ha

[Tommy Pigott @statedeptspox]

The U.S. is sanctioning two networks linked to the Sinaloa Cartel responsible for narcotics trafficking and money laundering operations. The Trump Administration will continue to protect Americans from organizations that traffic illicit fentanyl and other deadly drugs into our country.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Let there be no mistake: the United States stands squarely in support of Bolivia's legitimate constitutional government.

We will not allow criminals and drug traffickers to overthrow democratically elected leaders in our hemisphere.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

Costa Rica’s INL-supported Coast Guard interdicted two vessels in the Pacific and seized 3.3MT of cocaine in just 24 hours. This year, its Coast Guard has seized 24.5MT of illicit drugs--4x the amount seized during the same period in 2025. 🇺🇸🇨🇷 security cooperation helps to protect our shores and our communities.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

This year's @MockPrisonRiot training led to the identification of a Panamanian narco-trafficker leader who had evaded capture but now faces extradition. This annual exercise demonstrates the importance of information sharing and security cooperation with regional allies, ultimately protecting American lives.

[Tommy Pigott @statedeptspox]

Today, @StateDept is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on 13 individuals associated with KS International Traders and its owner, which has sold counterfeit prescriptions laced with illicit fentanyl to unsuspecting Americans in our country.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

Those who support illicit fentanyl trafficking networks will face significant consequences. @StateDept is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on 13 individuals who are close business associates of KS International Traders, a sanctioned online pharmacy fueling the illicit fentanyl crisis killing Americans. https://t.co/Yl8sNto5U2

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

With INL support, these interceptor vessels were delivered to our partners in Ecuador to strengthen maritime security and confront transnational threats before they reach U.S. shores. 🇺🇸🇪🇨

[US Embassy Ecuador @USembassyEC]

Los Estados Unidos reafirmó su compromiso con la seguridad y la cooperación con el Ecuador mediante la entrega de tres embarcaciones interceptoras asignadas a la Armada. Las tres lanchas son la primera fase de 12 unidades especializadas con una inversión de aproximadamente $5 millones que se entregarán este 2026 para fortalecer los esfuerzos de interdicción marítima en alta mar.
La ceremonia contó con la participación de autoridades ministeriales y la Jefe de Misión Encargada, Vanessa Acker, y reflejó la importancia de esta alianza para reforzar la seguridad marítima y ayudar a frenar el flujo de drogas y otras actividades ilícitas que impactan directamente a los Estados Unidos.
En el marco de la conmemoración de los 250 años de los 🇺🇸, celebramos una historia de innovación y cooperación con el Ecuador, y reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de seguir trabajando juntos por un futuro de mayor seguridad, prosperidad y oportunidades para ambos pueblos. #EstamosUnidos

[U.S. Embassy Tegucigalpa @usembassyhn]

Los fuertes controles en la frontera de EE.UU. han permitido bloquear el ingreso de miles de personas con vínculos con el narcoterrorismo.

Hacer cumplir la ley ayuda a prevenir amenazas transnacionales y refuerza la seguridad en toda la región.

[State Dept CT Bureau @StateDeptCT]

Senior Bureau Officials, @StateDeptCT Monica Jacobsen and @StateINL Chris Landberg, traveled to the U.S. Southwest Border in El Paso to coordinate with interagency partners on implementing @POTUS’ counter-cartel priorities.

We remain committed to leveraging all tools—including Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designations—to disrupt transnational criminal and terrorist organizations and enhance security for American communities.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

With INL support, the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force interdicted a yacht and seized over 400kg of cocaine, resulting in two narco-traffickers behind bars. Thanks to INL-backed vessel upgrades, the mission was carried out with precision and helped further strengthen U.S.-Caribbean counter-narcotics efforts. 🇺🇸🇻🇨

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

With INL support, these vessels are the first of six the U.S. will provide Panama's National Air and Naval Service. They will help advance our shared mission to defeat narco-terrorist organizations and halt the flows of drugs and illegal immigrants to the U.S. Under @POTUS, we are partnering closely with Panama to secure our borders and dismantle these criminal networks. 🇺🇸🇵🇦

[Embajador Kevin Marino Cabrera @USAmbassadorPAN]

Hoy entregamos dos lanchas interceptoras marítimas Safeboat de 41 pies, valoradas en $2,085,000, al ministro de Seguridad de Panamá @frankabregom para nuestros socios de @AerovanalPanama.

Estas embarcaciones son las primeras de seis que Estados Unidos proporcionará al Servicio Nacional Aeronaval durante los próximos tres años a través de @StateINL. Fortalecerán la capacidad de Panamá para combatir a los narcotraficantes y a las organizaciones criminales transnacionales.

Bajo el liderazgo del Presidente Trump, estamos trabajando estrechamente con Panamá para asegurar nuestras fronteras y desmantelar estas redes criminales. 🇺🇸🇵🇦
