More than 260,000 pounds of cocaine seized by Coast Guard [since 8/25]
[JTN] In less than one week, a U.S. Coast Guard crew seized more than 25,000 pounds of cocaine across three interdictions in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Their efforts are part of an international drug trafficking interdiction effort, Operation Pacific Viper, launched in August 2025. Since then, Operation Pacific Viper USCG crew members have seized more than 260,000 pounds of cocaine.
That's likely uncut
“We own the sea, and Operation Pacific Viper is proving that every day,” Admiral Kevin Lunday, commandant of the Coast Guard, said. “Coast Guard crews are taking the fight to narco-terrorists in the maritime domain, denying them the routes they rely on to move drugs, money and violence, while protecting the homeland and disrupting transnational criminal organizations far from U.S. shores.” # id) ?>

What will happen to 260,000 LBS (130 Tons) of cocaine?

Will it be destroyed before the next Democrat Coup Admin comes in? ☺

2 I bet Kamala and Hunter and Volodymyr cry themselves a river when they hear about cocaine getting seized and destroyed.

5 So the big question is has this impacted availability and price for cocaine on the street level?

6 This plus the cocaine cargo that has gone boom as dozens of speedboats keep blowing up.
