First on the fox: The American Coast Guard has seized more than 75,000 pounds of cocaine and caught nearly 60 terrorist and drug traffickers since the launch of the Pacific VIPER in August, according to the Ministry of Internal Security.
The Pacific Viper process is a common effort between the American Coast Guard and the American Navy aimed at facing illegal drug flow to the United States as part of President Donald Trump’s greatest effort to eliminate drug gangs.
Video footage of Fox News Digital depicts the Coast Guard Coast District, which is part of the Pacific Viper operation, as it completed a property on September 10 north north of the Galapagos Islands, causing 5500 pounds of cocaine from a low ship.
Pacific VIPER was also responsible for carrying out strikes against alleged drug ships of Venezuela. The first strike took out 11 suspects from Tren De Aragua (TDA) NARCO-Terrorists, while the second strike took three individuals.
“You had huge amounts of drugs,” Trump told reporters on September 3 after the first strike. “We have tapes of them talking. They were huge amounts of drugs coming to our country to kill many people. Everyone fully understands this fact. You see that, you see that drug bags around the boat, and they suffer from beating. A very bad actor.”
