The Coast Guard cutter Munro seized more than 20,000 pounds of cocaine in a single drug interdiction mission Tuesday, the largest seizure a national security cutter had completed involving a go-fast vessel.
New video footage shared with Fox News Digital depicts Coast Guard forces, including a sniper from the service’s Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) based in Jacksonville, Florida, utilizing disabling fire against a go-fast vessel as it completes a drug interdiction mission for Operation Pacific Viper.

HEY RAND PAUL, UP YOURS YOU LITTLE WEASEL
-
The DC Beltway really enjoys their cocaine.
These fishermen need to get serious help. I’m no expert, but I think they have a drug problem. Perhaps even more than Hunter Biden.
Indeed. Rand Paul needs to buy a clue.
The war on drugs is real. Finally.
Yep so much the better with this humain catch and release ?¿??)s
jus like fishing with a nearby mac donalds and your ebtsnaps cards, fish samiges and goes back for another load.
Go back to thunder strucking the bastads.
Yup!
Every one of these broken people ought to bring a class action suit against Mr. Paul and all the US officials who are profiting from the pain and destruction of US families
As Trump continues to stop the invasion of illegals and stop the flow of narcotics into the USA, we are going to see a lot of addicts suffering from withdrawal.
Be on the lookout for the zombies.
CNN reports that they emptied the boat, put it and the occupants back out where they found it, and used an “Obama Doctrine Double-Tap” to sink the boats and the occupants in 3,2,1......
Why are so many people in the US choosing to be addicted to drugs? Choose, instead, to be a winner and deal positively with life and it’s myriad (and never-ending) challenges. Respect your self, others and society.
LOL!
Looks like Randy’s Littler Mini-Me RandyFan has been MIA of late .... hmmmm.
Other than the Coast Guard eye witnesses and the physical cocaine, is there any evidence this was a drug-running boat?
Because skills for the latter is no longer taught in schools or even in many homes. Just the opposite.
This is another bad sign of internal resistance among the military.
The GOPe is planning to remove Hegseth, BECAUSE, “see, the Coast Guard can do this better and won’t hurt the poor innocent fisherpersons, who can now claim asylum and get benefits!”
I suspect that this was done to show whiners like pos rand paul these boats are carrying drug just like we’ve all known all along.
“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va.; Adam Schiff, D-Calif.; and Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced a war powers resolution Wednesday to bar Trump from using US armed forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela.”
…infuriating.
IMHO, this is a much better use of force than simply blowing boats out of the water. Now these perps can be taken interrogated, learned about their sources and take further steps as necessary.
The Coast Guard cutter Munro seized more than 20,000 pounds of cocaine in a single drug interdiction mission.
Media not amused with proof of drugs on boat next they will say it was planted.
Please tell me they killed the smugglers and didn’t bring them back here for us to clothe and feed.
I didn’t read what happened to them, and couldn’t tell by the video.
I prefer bombing them.
One and done.
