The U.S. Coast Guard<\/a> seized more than 4,500 pounds of cocaine worth nearly $34 million what officials described as a suspected “narco-terrorist” vessel in the Eastern Pacific on Easter Sunday, according to DHS.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Coast Guard cutter Escanaba was alerted by a maritime patrol aircraft that the crew of a suspected narco-terrorist vessel was throwing contraband overboard.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard deployed an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew to investigate the vessel, which was operating off the coast of Manta, Ecuador.<\/p>\n

DHS said the Escanaba crew deployed a cutter pursuit boat and recovered more than 4,510 pounds of cocaine.<\/p>\n

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin<\/a> said the recovery was part of Operation Pacific Viper, a Coast Guard counter-drug operation launched in August 2025 in the Eastern Pacific.<\/p>\n

“Operation Pacific Viper plays a central part of President Trump\u2019s fight against the cartels at sea, cutting off their ability to make money by trafficking their poison into our country,” Mullin said in a statement. “This operation has already seized over 215,000 pounds of cocaine<\/a> and has arrested over 160 suspected narco-traffickers.”<\/p>\n

He added, “The brave men and women of the Coast Guard are saving American lives by keeping these deadly drugs out of our communities and off our streets.”<\/p>\n

DHS said the Coast Guard\u2019s efforts to disrupt drug trafficking in the Eastern Pacific are a key part of the Trump administration\u2019s initiative<\/a> to combat narco-terrorism and dismantle transnational criminal organizations.<\/p>\n

Through Operation Pacific Viper, the Coast Guard has seized more than 215,000 pounds of cocaine and apprehended more than 160 suspected narco-traffickers, according to DHS.<\/p>\n

According to DHS, the operation included the Coast Guard’s largest drug seizure in its history, when it recovered more than 76,000 pounds of illegal drugs in August 2025, valued at $473 million. The total reflects multiple interdictions combined into a single offload.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard also seized nearly 50,000 pounds of illicit drugs in November 2025, valued at $362 million \u2014 one of the largest totals attributed to a Coast Guard cutter from multiple interdictions, according to DHS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
