Historic Fentanyl Bust: Authorities Seize Over 400 Kilograms in Multi-State Operation
In a record-breaking operation, U.S. authorities have announced the largest fentanyl seizure in history, confiscating more than 400 kilograms of the potent drug. Attorney General Pam Bondi highlighted the bust, which involved cooperation among five states including New Mexico and Utah, and led to the recovery of millions of illegal pills linked to the notorious Sinaloa Cartel. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) described the operation as a significant dismantling of a major fentanyl trafficking network, resulting in multiple arrests across various cities, including Albuquerque and Las Vegas. This unprecedented seizure underscores the ongoing battle against drug trafficking and the pervasive dangers posed by fentanyl across the nation.
