EXCLUSIVE \u2013<\/strong> A Florida-based multi-agency task force has seized a record one million pounds of cocaine<\/a> during fiscal year 2025 \u2014 a haul officials say represents 378 million lethal doses, enough to kill every American.<\/p>\n

The seizure was announced by Joint Inter-Agency Task Force \u2013 South (JIATF-S), led by U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). The unit, which includes the U.S. Coast Guard,<\/a> works with partner nations to disrupt the flow of illicit drugs through the “transit zone” between South America, Central America and the Caribbean and to weaken transnational criminal organizations.<\/p>\n

According to the task force, the amount of drugs seized over the past 12 months is enough to fill 42 dump trucks. The 2025 fiscal year ends Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JIATF-S confirmed to Fox News Digital that the effort has denied cartels and narco-terrorists $11.34 billion in revenue and removed 377.9 million lethal doses from the streets.<\/p>\n

TRUMP UNLEASHES US MILITARY POWER ON CARTELS. IS A WIDER WAR LOOMING?<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

JIATF-S operates across 42 million square miles, from the Eastern Pacific to the Western Atlantic, stretching from international waters north of the Caribbean Antilles<\/a> to the southern tip of South America at Cape Horn.<\/p>\n

The region has long been a major trafficking corridor for drugs, arms, cash and people. Well-financed and sophisticated criminal networks continue to exploit the area, officials said.<\/p>\n

“By disrupting the flow of these deadly drugs, JIATF-S is saving lives and protecting our homeland,” the agency added.<\/p>\n

A seizure of this magnitude has never been accomplished before. Officials said the one million pounds of cocaine does not include the strikes on Venezuelan narco-terrorists.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has vowed to intensify military action<\/a> in the Caribbean as part of its counter-narcotics strategy.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SAVES AMERICAN LIVES WITH \u2018OVERWHELMING FORCE\u2019 AGAINST DRUG SMUGGLERS ENCROACHING ON US BEACHES: EXPERT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In recent months, U.S. forces have conducted multiple operations targeting smuggling vessels as President Donald Trump<\/a> pushed to crack down on cartels and stem the flow of cocaine and other illicit drugs into the United States.<\/p>\n

In February, Trump designated groups, including Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel as foreign terrorist organizations. The Justice Department has also offered a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.<\/p>\n

Maduro is accused by U.S. authorities of helping lead the Cartel of the Suns, a Venezuelan drug-trafficking network allegedly comprised of senior government and military officials.<\/p>\n

“As he gained power in Venezuela, Maduro participated in a corrupt and violent narco-terrorism conspiracy with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,” a State Department bulletin states.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Maduro helped arrange multi-ton shipments of FARC-produced cocaine and directed the Cartel of the Suns to provide the group with military-grade weapons.<\/p>\n

In August, Trump approved the deployment of several U.S. Navy<\/a> guided-missile destroyers to strengthen counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Maduro responded by declaring that Venezuela was ready<\/a> to resist any attacks, calling the move “an extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral and absolutely criminal and bloody threat.” He has accused Trump of orchestrating a broader campaign to overthrow his government.<\/p>\n
