Coast Guard Seizes Over 2,000 LBS Of Cocaine Worth $32M In Miami
12:55 PM – Wednesday, January 10, 2024
The United States Coast Guard has announced that they have discovered and seized over one ton of cocaine approximately worth $32 million in Miami, Florida.
On Tuesday, the crew of USCGC Margaret Norvell found more than 2,450 pounds of cocaine in Miami.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) released a statement following the discovery and said that the drugs were confiscated in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea in two separate seizures.
They continued stating that they have arrested six smugglers who now face prosecution in federal courts by the Department of Justice.
Commanding Officer Lt. Cmdr. Colin Weaver publicly thanked the crew involved for their efforts in the case.
“Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the Coast Guard crews and agency partners involved with this interdiction, Coast Guard Cutter Margaret Norvell brought these suspected smugglers and illicit contraband ashore for prosecution,” Weaver said. “Coast Guard crews continue to deliver on our important missions of homeland and maritime security to save lives and thwart transnational criminal organizations operating in the Caribbean.”
The USCG also announced that these cases are being investigated by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), explaining that the group “identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten” the country.
They continued by saying that multiple crew from the USCG Cutter Richard Dixon, the USCG Cutter Dauntless and the Joint Interagency Task Force South were involved in the seizure stating that “detecting and interdicting illegal drug traffickers on the high seas involves significant interagency and international coordination.”
“Once interdiction becomes imminent, the law enforcement phase of the operation begins, and control of the operation shifts to the U.S. Coast Guard throughout the interdiction and apprehension,” said the USCG.

‘Jellyfish’ UAP video reveals strange object in Iraq
JAN 10, 2024 / 05:55 AM CST
UFO journalist Jeremy Corbell has released footage of what he is calling a “jellyfish” UAP spotted in Iraq in 2018.
NewsNation has not independently verified this footage.
The video was apparently taken at a U.S. joint operations base in Iraq, and according to Corbell, the object is officially designated a UAP — unknown aerial phenomenon — by the Pentagon. The footage was taken with thermographic/forward-looking infrared radar.
The object, which does resemble a jellyfish, moved through a sensitive military installation before moving over water, where it began what Corbell describes as a controlled descent before submerging.
After 17 minutes, the UAP reemerged from the water and disappeared at a high rate of speed.
According to those familiar with the full footage or who witnessed the event, the UAP was not observable with night vision, appeared to jam the targeting capability of the optical platform and displayed positive lift without the usual means for lift and thrust, with no signatures for propulsion maneuvers present.
NewsNation has contacted the Pentagon for comment but has not heard back.

1 dead, 1 injured after avalanche at CA's Palisades Tahoe ski resort, sheriff's office says
January 10, 2024 3:11PM
A person was killed and another was injured when an avalanche roared through a section of expert trails at Palisades Tahoe ski resort in California on Wednesday, authorities said.
The avalanche prompted Palisades Tahoe to close 30 minutes after it opened and search crews combed the area to see if anyone was injured or trapped.
Sgt. David Smith, a spokesperson for the Placer County sheriff, said hours later that a male victim died and other male sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He said nobody else was missing.
Authorities say the search has concluded.
The avalanche occurred around 9:30 a.m. on steep slopes under the KT-22 lift, which serves "black diamond" runs for skilled skiers and snowboarders.
It happened as major storm with snow and gusty winds moved into the region.
Winds gusted in excess of 100 mph over ridgetops around Lake Tahoe late Tuesday ahead of a powerful storm expected to bring as much as 2 feet of snow to the highest elevations by early Thursday.
Palisades Tahoe changed its name from Squaw Valley in 2021, a year after the famed resort announced it would jettison its old name.
Palisades is a sister resort of Alpine, formerly known as Alpine Meadows, which had one of the worst avalanches in California history in 1982, where seven people were killed.
