A CBP AMO H60 landed on a roadway in La Mesa during the medevac of a USBP Canine bitten by a rattlesnake on 9 MAY. The canine was treated at the nearby Vet Emergency Clinic and is reported to be making a solid recovery. This landing occurred on Jackson Drive just south of Interstate 8. The aircrew made a hasty exit as to not prolong the delay in traffic. We’ll gladly pay taxes for the goodest boy to get the bestest care! 💪 🐕

🚨 MAJOR BLOW TO TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION 🚨
The Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) San Juan has delivered a significant blow, disrupting a violent transnational criminal organization operating in Puerto Rico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the continental United States. As of today, our efforts have resulted in:
✅ 42 members indicted
✅ Over 1,200 kilograms of cocaine seized
✅ $8 million in assets seized
✅ Multiple violent offenders and TCO leaders brought to justice
This ongoing investigation has uncovered major drug trafficking, money laundering, and violent criminal activity, including charges tied to multiple homicides in Puerto Rico. Among these charges is a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act charge, underscoring the organized nature and severity of these crimes. This marks a critical step in HSTF’s efforts to dismantle these organizations and hold their members accountable under federal law.
Homeland Security Task Force partners remain committed to ensuring dangerous criminal leaders stay behind bars and our communities remain safe.
