The U.S. Coast Guard has made a significant impact in the fight against drug trafficking in recent operations off the coast of Miami Beach, with a series of record-breaking cocaine seizures. Most notably, federal agencies recently seized a total of 20,000 pounds of cocaine, shattering an 18-year-old record. The latest operations have led to the confiscation of about $28 million worth of cocaine from a vessel near Miami Beach, resulting in three men being charged. Additionally, Coast Guard snipers showcased their precision by disabling drug vessels from helicopters, leading to further captures. The total haul from recent operations off Miami Beach now exceeds 49,000 pounds of illicit narcotics, illustrating the ongoing efforts to combat drug smuggling in U.S. waters.
