Coast Guard Offloads $140M Worth of Narcotics Linked to Criminal Orgs, Including Tren De Aragua
- On May 16, the crew of the US Coast Guard Cutter Calhoun delivered approximately 19,000 pounds of seized cocaine and marijuana, valued at $140.9 million, to Port Everglades in Miami.
- This offloading followed five interdictions carried out by the Coast Guard and partner agencies across waters in the Atlantic region and Caribbean between April 12 and May 7.
- Teams aboard the Calhoun and other Coast Guard units intercepted multiple suspect vessels in the Caribbean Sea and near the Canary Islands, resulting in the confiscation of more than 10,000 pounds of cocaine during a single operation.
- Officials reported that the ongoing criminal probes involve significant activity by international criminal groups as well as the foreign terrorist group Tren de Aragua.
- These interdictions demonstrate ongoing US efforts to deny drug trafficking access to smuggling routes and dismantle transnational criminal activity threatening Americans at home.
