CBP AMO, or U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations, published a series of posts on their official Twitter account in early April 2026. The tweets addressed the passing of a colleague, issued a warning to those considering illegal entry by sea, and highlighted recent enforcement actions.
On April 1, 2026, CBP AMO posted: "With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Supervisory Marine Interdiction Agent Joseph Saville of the Rochester Marine Unit. Joe’s dedication, leadership, and kindness touched everyone who knew him. His legacy will live on in the lives he impacted and the service he gave. Our https://t.co/bvvMLgtBBk".
The following day, on April 2, 2026, CBP AMO shared a message regarding border security operations: "FUN FACT.. We can see you, even though you can’t see us! If you attempt to enter the United States illegally by sea you will get the greatest show as we light up the night! Do not risk your life by trusting smugglers, you will be caught, arrested, and removed. #greatestshowman https://t.co/Vzx17oqbr6".
Later that same day, another post read: "Another massive takedown by our aircrews and partners! https://t.co/Nj5GIm5jnA".
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations is responsible for providing aerial and maritime surveillance to detect and interdict unlawful movement of people or contraband across U.S. borders. The agency frequently conducts joint operations with other federal entities to address smuggling attempts via air or sea routes.
The mention of "massive takedown" reflects ongoing interdiction efforts aimed at preventing illegal activities along maritime borders through coordinated operations involving both aircrews and partner agencies.
