🚨DISABLING FIRE STOPS SMUGGLING ATTEMPT! On March 11, at 11:45 p.m. EST, a Miami Marine Unit crew successfully interdicted a suspected smuggling vessel and apprehended 15 illegal aliens in a failed nighttime smuggling attempt off the coast of Miami. The suspect vessel, was initially detected approximately 21 miles east of Miami-Dade County and traveling west toward shore. Miami Marine Unit agents successfully interdicted the vessel two miles off shore. When Marine Interdiction Agents approached, the vessel fled. Despite law enforcement activating lights and sirens, the vessel continued to evade authorities. After the vessel failed to stop, agents first discharged warning rounds. When that did not work, disabling rounds were discharged into the engine, ultimately bringing the vessel to a halt. Agents observed one adult male Bahamian operating the vessel and discovered 14 additional occupants onboard: four Dominican male adults, three Ecuadorian male adults, one Haitian male adult, one Haitian male minor, and five Haitian adult females. A nearby Lauderdale Marine Unit vessel assisted in securing the scene and transporting all occupants to the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) William Flores for processing. USCGC Flores’ crew returned 11 of the illegal aliens to their origin country, the Bahamas, on Sunday. The other four illegal aliens were subsequently arrested by DHS’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Florida for their roles in the alien smuggling venture. #BorderSecurity

🔥 A Peek Into Air and Marine Operations Air Crew Rifle Operator Program🚁 Earlier this month, Air Crew Rifle Operators, Instructors and Pilots from throughout the #SouthwestRegion participated in live-fire exercises, day and night, using UH-60 & AS350 helicopters. Crews refined aerial engagement skills, practiced advanced tactics, and boosted radio and crew communications in realistic field scenarios. This joint training not only sharpens operational readiness, but also strengthens interagency teamwork for future missions! #Aviation #LiveFire #Training #Teamwork #MissionReady #ACR @CBPAMO @CBPAMOEAC @CBPAMODEAC

On March 12, 2026, an Air Interdiction Agent and Air Enforcement Agent from the Great Lakes Air and Marine Branch launched an H-125 helicopter to provide aerial video reconnaissance during the active shooter response at the synagogue shooting in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. A Ground Tactical Air Controller (GTAC) was also deployed to coordinate with tactical teams and assist with airspace management in support of responding law enforcement. The aircrew and GTAC played a critical role in providing law enforcement personnel with situational awareness during the incident.

On March 11, #DemingAirUnit teamed up with Lordsburg Border Patrol, RAPTOR Team, #BORTAC, and @USBPSOG Special Operations Group units for a coordinated effort in the El Paso Sector. The operation began after agents observed a group of eight individuals preparing to cross into the United States near San Luis Pass Road the night before. The next morning, agents deployed to the area and tracked the group through mountainous terrain. After several hours, they located and apprehended six individuals dressed in camouflage, who were attempting to avoid detection. Two additional subjects, believed to be the group’s foot guides, managed to leave the area before law enforcement arrived. Despite an extensive search, the guides were not found and are believed to have returned south into Mexico. #AMO #BorderPatrol #FridayVibes
