In a remarkable display of efficiency and resolve, the U.S. Coast Guard has shattered records this year while implementing vital border security measures and combating drug trafficking across the nation.

Under the leadership of President Trump, the Coast Guard has received unprecedented support and funding, allowing it to effectively tackle illegal immigration and drug smuggling that threaten the safety of American citizens.

In 2025, Coast Guard crews interdicted a staggering quantity of narcotics—nearly 470,000 pounds of cocaine—enough to endanger the lives of an estimated 177 million people. This marked an incredible 200% increase in illegal narcotics seizures compared to previous years.


The Coast Guard's efforts were further boosted by strategic operations, such as the recently launched Operation Pacific Viper, aimed at curbing drug cartels and transnational crime from Central and South America. During this operation, Coast Guard Cutter Stone alone seized around 49,010 pounds of illicit narcotics.

Impressively, in August, the Coast Guard celebrated its largest drug offload in history, disposing of over 76,000 pounds of drugs in Florida. Such milestones underscore not only the commitment of our armed services but also the effectiveness of policies enacted under the Trump administration.

This year, the Coast Guard also made headlines with its recruitment surge, surpassing its active-duty enlisted goals and seeing the highest admission numbers since 1991. More Americans are stepping forward to serve their country in this critical maritime security role, highlighting a nationwide commitment to supporting our borders.

Thanks to nearly $25 billion allocated under the "Big Beautiful Bill," the Coast Guard has undertaken substantial upgrades to its assets, including the procurement of new cutters, helicopters, and icebreakers. This investment is vital to modernizing a force that plays a crucial role in both national security and humanitarian efforts.

The achievements of the Coast Guard not only reflect a highly motivated workforce but also illustrate the effectiveness of conservative governance focused on strong border security and drug interdiction strategies. As America continues to rise under the leadership of President Trump, it’s clear that these efforts have positioned the Coast Guard as a national powerhouse dedicated to protecting our homeland.
