Threats on our southern border are evolving. @USCG is adapting and mobilizing an unprecedented response to meet the challenge. Through Operation River Wall, our maritime fighting force is bringing centuries of tactical boat experience – coastal, offshore, and riverine – to control the border along 260 miles of the Rio Grande. Proud to be owning the rivers and securing our southern border alongside U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Northern Command. #USCG #WeOwnTheRivers #OperationRiverWall @dhsgov @uscgheartland @borderpatrol @usnortherncmd

Through Operation River Wall, the U.S. Coast Guard is taking the lead in securing 260 miles of the Rio Grande. By integrating advanced drone technology, we are expanding our operational reach and making our missions and partnerships more effective than ever. These unmanned systems provide real-time intelligence and surveillance, allowing our elite boat crews to respond faster and more precisely to threats. This technology is vital in countering the evolving tactics of traffickers and protecting our nation. #uscg #alwaysready #bordersecurity @uscg @dhsgov

Chief Banks is on the line in San Diego, where he is getting a firsthand look at operations across land and sea. The strongest strategy supports agents on the frontline, and from coast to coast, agents remain vigilant. Maritime operations are a key component in strengthening border security and protecting this great nation.
Border Security one-two punch. Do not attempt to enter the United States illegally. You will be caught, arrested, and removed. #BorderSecurity
We love the smell of freedom in the morning. 🇺🇸 #OnPatrol #bordersecurity
Our maritime fighting force sets the standard for maritime pursuit operations. Station San Diego crews conducted high-speed pursuit exercises with @cbpgov, strengthening joint maritime interdiction. Building on centuries of Coast Guard tactical boat expertise, these evolutions sharpen advanced pursuit tactics, vessel handling, and rapid decision-making—enabling decisive action against go-fast vessels used in migrant smuggling and drug trafficking. This is how we prepare the best boat crews in the world. 📹 by @uscgsouthwest #USCG #WorldsBestBoatDrivers #MaritimeSecurity #bordersecurity @dhsgov @uscgpacarea
The border is closed! If you attempt to enter the United States illegally by water this will be your #POV and you will be caught, arrested, and processed for removal! We are watching from the air, sea, and land. #bordersecurity
Do not risk your life by attempting to illegally enter the United States by sea! You will be caught, arrested, and removed. #BorderSecurity #POV
On the ground and in the river this past week as the Trump administration’s historic installation of more than 500 miles of buoy barrier in the Rio Grande, the river that divides Texas from Mexico. #borderpatrol #trumpadministration #dhs #bordersecurity
Five burning boats. 20+ people detained. Illegal weapons recovered. Another smuggling network shut down in the Eastern Pacific. This is what maritime law enforcement looks like when the Coast Guard shows up. The “panga puller” was towing five small boats — four disguised as normal fishing vessels and one carrying the smugglers. Once the illegal weapons were discovered on the main vessel, the entire operation was stopped. Everyone on board was detained and the vessels were sunk to prevent them from being used again. Not every mission makes headlines, but every mission protects our borders and our waters. If you’re looking for a job where your work actually matters… this is it. #coastguard #eastpacific #maritimelawenforcement #druginterdiction #protectandserve
