Coast Guard Offloads Enough Cocaine to Kill More Than 1.4 Million Americans

 Press Release:

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs

Coast Guard Offloads Enough Cocaine to Kill More Than 1.4 Million Americans $28.7 million in illicit drugs interdicted in Eastern Pacific Ocean WASHINGTON – On Thursday at Base Miami Beach, U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tampa’s crew offloaded approximately 3,825 pounds of cocaine worth more than $28.7 million and enough to kill more than 1.4 million Americans The seized contraband was the result of two interdictions in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean through Operation Pacific Viper. “This crew's performance over the last 74 days has been nothing short of phenomenal,” said Cmdr. Joshua DiPietro, commanding officer of Tampa. “From qualifying several pilots, tie downs, Landing Safety Officers, and Helicopter Control Officers for aviation operations at the start of the patrol to seizing nearly $45 million in illicit narcotics, their teamwork during complex operations was truly impressive. They met every challenge head-on, working seamlessly with our partner agencies and international allies to disrupt transnational criminal organizations.” The following assets and crews were involved in the interdiction operations: USCGC Tampa (WMEC 902) Coast Guard Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron Joint Interagency Task Force South Coast Guard Southeast District watchstanders Coast Guard Southwest District watchstanders Since its inception under President Donald J. Trump, Operation Pacific Viper has accelerated counter-drug operations in the Eastern Pacific, a primary corridor for narcotics smuggling from Central and South America. The Coast Guard has surged cutters, aircraft, and tactical teams to interdict, seize, and disrupt the flow of cocaine and other illicit drugs. These efforts are a critical component of the broader U.S. strategy to combat narco-terrorism and dismantle transnational criminal organizations. Under the leadership of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin the men and women of the Coast Guard will continue deploying overwhelming force against the cartels, cutting off the flow of drugs into the United States, and putting an end to the cartel’s reign of terror. Recent operations have highlighted the effectiveness of this approach, including record-setting interdictions. In February, the Coast Guard marked a significant achievement by seizing 200,000 pounds of cocaine, underscoring the sustained effectiveness of Operation Pacific Viper. Since launching this operation in early August, the Coast Guard has seized over 215,000 pounds of cocaine and apprehended 160 suspected narco-traffickers. The Coast Guard’s persistent operations and rapid response have denied criminal organizations billions in illicit revenue and prevented the flow of dangerous drugs into American communities. 80% of interdictions of U.S.-bound drugs occur at sea. This underscores the importance of maritime interdiction in combatting the flow of illegal narcotics and protecting American communities from this deadly threat. U.S. Southern Command’s Joint Interagency Task Force South based in Key West conducts the detection and monitoring of aerial and maritime transit of illegal drugs. Once interdiction becomes imminent, the law enforcement phase of the operation begins, and control of the operation shifts to the U.S. Coast Guard throughout the interdiction and apprehension. Interdictions in the Eastern Pacific Ocean are performed by members of the U.S. Coast Guard under the authority and control of the Coast Guard’s Southwest District, headquartered in Alameda, California. Coast Guard Cutter Tampa is a 270-foot medium endurance cutter homeported in Portsmouth, Virginia under U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command.

He is facing charges that include abduction of a person with intent to defile, sodomy by force or victim helplessness, and assault.   On April 14, 2026, ICE requested the Arlington County Jail not release this predator from jail back into American communities. According to local reports, Moran approached the victim on the early morning of April 12. When she walked away, Moran followed her and violently shoved her against a wall and physically and sexually assaulted her. The victim fought back and broke free, but Moran continued to chase after her to further assault her. Moran escaped when two good samaritans intervened, but local police later tracked him down and arrested him.  Luzvin Orvando Garcia Moran  According to Arlington County Court records, Moran has at least 25 prior charges dating back to 2020, including nine counts of being intoxicated in public, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer, and several probation violations.   Moran entered the United States at an unknown date and unknown time.  Arlington County is just miles away from Sanctuary Fairfax County, where illegal aliens have committed 75% of murders in 2026.   “Virginia's sanctuary policies allowed this illegal alien to go on a crime spree,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Despite prior arrests by law enforcement, this criminal was released from jail multiple times before he went on to commit this heinous rape. We are calling on Arlington County sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing this criminal from jail back into our communities. How many more times must they release criminals into our neighborhoods to create more innocent victims?”  During her first days in office, Governor Spanberger signed executive orders banning state cooperation with ICE as well as terminating 287(g) state and local agreements.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs

Citizen Naturalized Under Joe Biden Brutally Murders DHS Employee Lauren Bullis Since President Trump took office, USCIS has implemented measures to ensure individuals with criminal histories and who otherwise lack good moral character do not attain citizenship WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Olaolukitan Adon Abel, a 26-year-old born in the United Kingdom, who was naturalized by the Biden Administration in 2022, brutally murdered DHS employee and public servant Lauren Bullis on April 13. This individual possesses a prior criminal record that includes convictions for sexual battery, battery against a police officer, obstruction, assault with a deadly weapon, and vandalism, and now stands accused of murdering Lauren Bullis in a brutal shooting and stabbing while she was walking her dog. Olaolukitan Adon Abel Olaolukitan Adon Abel has also been arrested for the murder of an unidentified woman whom he reportedly shot outside a Checkers, before randomly shooting a homeless man multiple times outside a Kroger in Brookhaven. Lauren Bullis served in multiple roles at DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG). She served as an Auditor in the Office of Audits and as a Team Leader in the Office of Innovation. In every role she held, Lauren exemplified dedication to the OIG mission. Lauren approached her work with integrity, thoughtfulness, and a commitment to excellence that strengthened our organization and the communities we serve. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Lauren was a bright spot for so many of the DHS community. She brought warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of care to her colleagues each day. Lauren Bullis Lauren Bullis “On Monday, a DHS employee, Lauren Bullis, was brutally shot and stabbed to death by Olaolukitan Adon Abel, a 26-year-old, born in the United Kingdom, who was naturalized by the Biden Administration in 2022.  Since President Trump took office, USCIS has implemented measures to ensure individuals with criminal histories and who otherwise lack good moral character do not attain citizenship,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “He has also been arrested for the murder of an unidentified woman whom he reportedly shot outside a Checkers, before randomly shooting a homeless man multiple times outside a Kroger in Brookhaven. These acts of pure evil have devastated our Department and my prayers are with the families of the victims.” In an effort to remove murderers like this from our communities, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the creation of a new vetting center on December 5, 2025, to enhance screening and vetting of immigration applications, with a focus on identifying terrorists, criminal aliens, and other threats to public safety. The center will leverage advanced technologies and work closely with law enforcement and intelligence partners to strengthen national security and uphold the integrity of the U.S. immigration system. Pursuant to long-neglected statutory authority, USCIS also restored the practice of conducting neighborhood investigations of potential new citizens. The purpose of a neighborhood investigation is to verify aliens’ eligibility for naturalization by reviewing their residency, moral character, loyalty to the U.S. Constitution, and commitment to the nation’s well-being. These investigations are vital to maintaining the integrity of the naturalization process, assuring assimilation, and safeguarding the value of American citizenship. The agency began conducting neighborhood investigations in November 2025.
