Five western states part of 'largest' bust of fentanyl in DEA history, U.S. officials say

  • Federal authorities arrested 16 individuals in a multi-state operation targeting a large fentanyl trafficking network on Tuesday across six western states.
  • The bust resulted from coordinated efforts under Operation Take Back America, aiming to dismantle cartels and violent transnational criminal organizations operating illegally.
  • Authorities seized a record-breaking quantity of fentanyl pills—about three million—along with methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, weapons, and over $4 million in cash and assets.
  • Attorney General Pamela Bondi described fentanyl as a "weapon of mass destruction" and characterized the seizure as a major achievement that strikes a serious blow to the Sinaloa Cartel.
  • Officials said the operation removed millions of lethal fentanyl doses from the streets and signaled ongoing federal resolve to protect communities and prosecute cartel-affiliated criminals.
