🚨Detected in the Dark: 23 illegal aliens including 13 Chinese nationals interdicted off Florida coast. On Sept. 15, a Miami Air and Marine Branch Multi-Role Enforcement Aircraft conducting an Operation Vigilant Sentry patrol detected a suspicious surface target off the Florida coast near Angelfish Creek. Marine Interdiction Agents from the Miami Marine Unit and Key Largo Marine Unit coordinated with the U.S. Coast Guard and moved in for the take down. The target: a 27-foot cuddy cabin vessel suspected of being used for maritime smuggling. The outcome: a safe interdiction without incident. AMO and USCG personnel apprehended 23 individuals, including one suspected smuggler, a Cuban national, and 22 migrants of various nationalities: eight Ecuadorian nationals, 13 Chinese nationals, and one Dominican national. The individuals were transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Pablo Valent for processing, and the vessel was seized. This operation sends a clear message: attempting to enter the United States unlawfully by sea is extremely dangerous, puts lives at risk, and will not go undetected.

WE SEE YOU! On January 26, at around 8:30 PM, an Air and Marine Operations AS350 helicopter crew from the Laredo Air Branch spotted an ATV picking up two individuals who had just crossed the Rio Grande River on a raft. The ATV driver tried to drop off the subjects in a residential neighborhood, but quick action by US Border Patrol agents from Laredo South Station led to their interception. The ATV attempted to flee into the brush, but thanks to coordinated efforts with our air unit, all individuals were apprehended. Arrested were one U.S. citizen male, one adult male Mexican national, and one adult male Brazilian national. The ATV was also seized! #BorderSecurity #Teamwork

HOIST RESCUE AT 7,300 FEET On Oct. 6, a Tucson Black Hawk crew responded to a 911 call for an illegal alien in medical distress at approximately 7,300 feet in the Huachuca Mountains. The crew guided U.S. Border Patrol agents to the individual’s location near the summit, where steep, rocky terrain made a ground evacuation unsafe. Our Black Hawk crew conducted a coordinated hoist rescue, safely extracting the individual, and responding agents to a secure landing zone. This lifesaving response highlights our close partnership with the U.S. Border Patrol as we protect America’s borders and serve those in need.

Riding shotgun like a boss! The border is CLOSED. Do not attempt to enter the United States illegally by sea. If you try, you WILL be caught. Evading authorities is dangerous and can result in engine disabling fire to stop your vessel like this! Taking to the sea is extremely hazardous—rough waters, unpredictable weather, and unsafe vessels put lives at risk. Do not attempt illegal entry by sea! #ProtectingAmerica 🇺🇸

🚨Threats to our nation will be stopped long before they reach our shores. On Sept. 11, an Air and Marine Operations P-3 on routine patrol detected a go-fast vessel in the source and transit zone that was initially dead in the water, then got underway before U.S. Coast Guard assets arrived. The P-3 crew vectored USCG air and surface assets to the vessel for a successful interdiction. The operation resulted in 3 suspects detained and approximately 6,800 lbs. of cocaine seized at sea. This is what a layered defense looks like: detection, coordination, and decisive action miles from the U.S. Homeland.
