Washington state’s Green River levee collapsed this morning, forcing an emergency evacuation of thousands of residents in the Tri-Cities area and placing the region at high flood risk.

The river’s floodplain, historically managed by a maze of levees and spillways, now stands at a vulnerable threshold as heavy spring rains surge from recent Pacific storms. State officials say…

The operation, part of a broader surge in maritime interdiction since September, highlights the use of cutting‑edge technology—unmanned surface vehicles, advanced radar, and real‑time data feeds—to disrupt “narco‑terrorist” supply lines. President Trump announced a new executive order designating fentanyl and its precursor chemicals as weapons of mass destruction, underscoring the administration’s war‑like tone toward drug cartels and the importance of these naval actions. Background and Context The U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) has…
