In a significant operation, the US Coast Guard has achieved a historic milestone by seizing over 76,000 pounds of illegal narcotics, including cocaine and marijuana, valued at nearly $500 million. This record drug haul, announced as taking place at Port Everglades, is enough to potentially fatally overdose the entire population of Florida, highlighting the ongoing battle against drug cartels and smuggling operations. The operation is tied to illicit activities originating from Venezuela and marks one of the largest drug offloads in the agency’s history.
