US EditionPam Bondi announces largest fentanyl seizure in US history
- Last month, U.S. Law enforcement conducted a multi-state crackdown spanning six western states— including those in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest—resulting in the arrest of 16 individuals involved in fentanyl trafficking.
- The operation aimed to dismantle a large drug network led by Heriberto Salazar Amaya and was part of the DOJ’s Operation Take Back America initiative.
- Authorities confiscated millions of fentanyl tablets, 11.5 kilograms of fentanyl in powdered form, significant quantities of methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, along with firearms, cash, stolen vehicles, and other related evidence.
- Pam Bondi described the bust as a "historic drug seizure" removing "poison from our streets," while DEA Acting Administrator Robert Murphy called it a "battlefield victory" against a terrorist-backed network.
- The operation dealt a major setback to a highly significant fentanyl trafficking network in U.S. History and is anticipated to enhance safety in communities throughout the western United States.
