The crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter James has returned to Florida from a patrol that saw them seize more than 44,550 pounds of Mexican Cartel cocaine and 3,880 pounds of Mexican Cartel marijuana worth about $510 million. US Attorney General Pam Biondi says the seizures represent more than a half-billion-dollars of lost profits by the Gulf Cartel (CDG), the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS), and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

The operation targeted the Sinaloa Cartel through the seizure of a record-breaking 400 Kilograms of Fentanyl - the largest in the history of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) - which was the lead agency in the multi-state effort.
