Every day, Coast Guard cutters are on patrol to secure our borders, disrupt cartels, and interdict illegal drugs before they reach American shores. These operations culminated in a major milestone this week, as the Coast Guard surpassed 80,000 pounds of illicit drugs interdicted since January 21. This achievement comes as U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) deploys two U.S. Navy warships to the southern border to support Department of Homeland Security and Coast Guard law enforcement operations. The crew of CGC Stone has been on the front lines of those operations. As the Coast Guard continues to control, secure, and defend our borders and maritime approaches, CGC Stone’s drug interdiction efforts are a testament to the Coast Guard’s commitment to mission excellence! Stay tuned for even more to come on CGC Stone’s historic achievements.

🚨🇺🇸🇯🇲 U.S. SENDS $11 MILLION AID PACKAGE TO JAMAICA AFTER HURRICANE MELISSA Washington has announced an initial $11 million in emergency assistance to help Jamaica recover from Hurricane Melissa’s trail of destruction. The hurricane left widespread flooding, destroyed homes, blocked roads, and knocked out power across much of the island. The aid includes food for up to 40,000 people, six new water treatment systems, and vital shelter materials… a lifeline for communities still digging out from the wreckage. Melissa may have passed, but the rebuilding is just beginning, and thankfully America showed up with more than “thoughts and prayers.” Relief is on the way, and every dollar counts. So far, Hurricane Melissa caused at least 67 deaths, up to $4 billion in insured losses in Jamaica and tens of billions of dollars of overall damage throughout the Caribbean.
