    The honorable Robert Brewer, Southern District of California United States Attorney, speaks on the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf’s crew during a drug offload of more than 18,000 pounds of cocaine in San Diego, Dec. 18, 2019. The $312 million-worth of seized cocaine was the result of seven separate suspected drug smuggling vessel interdictions and disruptions by Bertholf and four other Coast Guard cutter crews who patrolled international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Mexico, Central and South America between October and November.

    A formal press conference is being held at a United States Coast Guard facility, with a civilian official speaking at a podium bearing the USCG seal. Several Coast Guard personnel in uniform are standing in the background alongside what appears to be seized contraband packages stacked on pallets. An American flag is displayed prominently in the background.
    Personnel in hard hats and work uniforms are conducting a cargo transfer operation on what appears to be a ship's deck. A pallet of wrapped goods is being lifted by crane overhead while crew members observe and guide the operation. A helicopter is visible in the background sky, and additional wrapped cargo is staged on the deck.
    Two workers wearing hard hats are guiding a large shrink-wrapped pallet of cargo, suspended by a crane or lift, on what appears to be the deck of a ship or vessel. The pallet contains stacked flat materials wrapped in clear plastic sheeting. The operation appears to be a cargo transfer or replenishment-at-sea type activity.
    Personnel in blue uniforms and hard hats are offloading palletized cargo at a port facility using a crane. The workers appear to be positioning shrink-wrapped bales on wooden pallets beneath a crane hook and rigging. The setting is a dock or pier alongside a large vessel, under clear daytime skies.
