A US interagency task force seized 305.5 metric tons of cocaine and arrested 518 individuals between October 1, 2025 and June 18, 2026, according to the task force. Officials say the operation denies narco-terrorists an estimated $7.2 billion in revenue.
A US interagency task force reported the seizure of 305.5 metric tons of cocaine and the arrest of 518 individuals over a roughly eight-and-a-half-month period, from October 1, 2025 through June 18, 2026. The task force — composed of multiple cooperating agencies, according to the statement — said the operation has a 'tremendous impact in the fight against international crime' and deprives narco-terrorists of approximately $7.2 billion in revenue.
The disclosure comes as the Trump administration's drug policy chief, Sarah Carter, outlined a new national drug control strategy last month that shifts from containment to 'hunting the cartels in their safe havens.' Separately earlier this month, the US Coast Guard seized over 102 kg of cocaine in the eastern Pacific, a major smuggling route from Central and South America. The task force post did not specify which agencies participated or the geographic scope of the operations, aside from the Coast Guard's separate Pacific interdiction.
