This report covers coast guard seizes 75k with key details and context.

The U.S. Coast Guard recently reported the seizure of over 75,000 pounds of cocaine and the detention of nearly 60 individuals suspected of smuggling under Operation Pacific Viper, launched in August. The operation, a joint effort with the U.S. Navy, focuses on drug cartels transporting narcotics through the Pacific and Caribbean. Video footage from the Department of Homeland Security shows Coast Guard cutter Seneca intercepting a vessel near the Galápagos Islands in September. The vessel was carrying 5,500 pounds of cocaine, and two men aboard were taken into custody. This operation forms part of President Trump’s initiative to strengthen counter-narcotics measures. U.S. forces have recently targeted at least two suspected drug boats from Venezuela, resulting in the death of 14 alleged smugglers linked to the Tren de Aragua gang.
