Coast Guard of Trinidad & Tobago stopped the cargo ship #Throne where it was discovered to have 400 Kg of cocaine concealed in the fuel tanks. Here we can see the interdiction and escort back to port.

War Powers Act
A president can pretty much do anthing he wants — for a limited time at any rate.
1973 — Congress abdicated its war powers.
The Imperial Presidency is a thing.
Anyway, I don’t think we’re talking about an all out invasion.
We ARE talking about interdicting drugs that Venezuela and F.A.R.C. are trafficking.
