Official CBP New Orleans Air & Marine 2025 Super Bowl Patch - U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations New Orleans Branch Super Bowl LIX commemorative embroidered patch, marking the branch's role in securing Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Eyes in the sky, boats on the river, and federal expertise on the ground — the New Orleans Air and Marine Branch brought its full mission set to the biggest single-day security event in American sports.
The New Orleans Air and Marine Branch operates within CBP's Southeast Region and maintains rapid launch capability to the Gulf of Mexico, with primary enforcement efforts targeting illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and terrorist-related activity. For Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, the branch stepped into a national tasking mission alongside more than 700 DHS personnel deployed across the city. AMO enforced temporary flight restrictions around Caesars Superdome, flying intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance sorties over the Superdome, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Bourbon Street, and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. On the water, Marine Interdiction Agents patrolled the Mississippi River shoreline aboard 38-foot All-Weather Interceptor vessels, coordinating with Coast Guard and local law enforcement to secure the waterfront near the stadium. The operation also included X-ray scanning of cargo trucks entering the venue and counterfeit merchandise inspections throughout the city. This patch documents that deployment — a rare convergence of the branch's everyday border enforcement skills and a high-profile national security mission in its own backyard.
Perfect for CBP Air and Marine Operations veterans, New Orleans branch agents and alumni, Marine Interdiction Agents, Air Interdiction Agents, DHS law enforcement collectors, Super Bowl LIX memorabilia enthusiasts, federal law enforcement patch boards, shadow boxes, and anyone who wants a documented piece of the security history behind one of the most closely watched Super Bowls in recent memory. It also makes a meaningful keepsake for family members and supporters of the agents who flew the sorties, ran the river patrols, and kept the Superdome and surrounding venues secure during Super Bowl LIX.
New Orleans AMO on the mission — sky, river, and stadium secured.
