US Coast Guard
The US Coast Guard dropped off a big shipment of seized cocaine in Miami this week.
On Tuesday, the crew of the Cutter Tahoma offloaded 9,970 pounds of cocaine worth $73.7 million at Port Everglades.
The cocaine was seized 120 miles northwest of Ecuador by the crew of the Tahoma last month.
“I couldn’t be more impressed with the determination and teamwork displayed by this crew. They executed this interdiction with precision and professionalism,” said Cmdr. Nolan Cuevas, commanding officer of the Cutter Tahoma.
“Behind every successful deployment is a dedicated team of logistics and support personnel. Their tireless efforts ensured we had the resources and maintenance support to operate. Our collective actions reaffirm the Coast Guard’s unwavering commitment to protecting our nation’s borders and the safety of our citizens.”
The US Coast Guard released a video of the offloading on social media.

Social media had jokes about the Coast Guard being 30 pounds short of 10k pounds of cocaine.
