RECORD ALERT! @jiatfs surpassed 400+ metric tons of cocaine seized in FY25, & shattered the previous record of 328MT from FY24 – there's still over a month to go! To date in FY25, that's a $10B+ blow to cartels & taken 334B+ lethal doses of cocaine off our streets. @USCG
Illicit narcotics don’t affect one region they affect national security & the safety & security of our international partners. Interagency & international partnerships produce results in the interdiction of illicit traffickers & the illegal cargo they attempt to smuggle.
BZ team!

Great work out there @USCG Cutter Thetis! JIATFS is proud to be partners with USCG and other law enforcement agencies to monitor and detect illicit trafficking in the Joint Operating Area.
The seizure was a team effort that prevented approximately 23 million potential lethal doses from reaching the U.S. Hunting illicit smugglers in a 42 mil sq mile area takes significant interagency & international collaboration. Teamwork!
