Part 9/15:
The DEA reported the seizure of vast quantities of illegal substances—including nearly 715,000 counterfeit pills, 480 kilos of fentanyl powder, over 2,200 kilos of methamphetamine, and 7,400 kilos of cocaine. Additionally, authorities confiscated firearms and approximately $13 million in assets. These efforts were bolstered by the Trump administration's February designation of the Sinaloa cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), allowing for intensified law enforcement and counterterrorism tactics.
