CBP AMO highlights arrests, maritime interdiction, and teamwork in January 2026 posts

Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations (CBP AMO) shared updates on recent law enforcement activities through its official Twitter account. The tweets highlighted joint efforts resulting in arrests, maritime interdictions, and rescue operations.

On January 19, 2026, CBP AMO posted: "Law enforcement collaboration nets 3 wanted for murder! https://t.co/mWSdRYG70j". The tweet referenced a collaborative operation between agencies that led to the apprehension of three individuals sought for murder charges.

The following day, on January 20, 2026, CBP AMO reported an interception at sea: "INTERECPTED AT SEA! Late on Jan. 13, Marine Interdiction Agents from the Fajardo Marine Unit intercepted a sailing vessel carrying 12 undocumented migrants from Uzbekistan and Russia near Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. 

Alerted by the U.S. Coast Guard, CBP Air and Marine https://t.co/LTO0NTgxr1". This operation involved cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard and resulted in stopping a vessel transporting migrants from Uzbekistan and Russia close to Vieques Island.

Later that same day, another post commended coordinated efforts in Tucson: "Incredible teamwork and precision Tucson! #SavingLives https://t.co/y0ZUXwdBz4".

CBP Air and Marine Operations is a division within U.S. Customs and Border Protection responsible for providing aerial and maritime surveillance as well as law enforcement support along U.S. borders. The agency frequently collaborates with other federal entities such as the U.S. Coast Guard to address cross-border crime, migrant smuggling, and public safety threats.

These recent updates underscore ongoing interagency coordination in both criminal apprehensions and humanitarian missions involving border security personnel.
