LAPD, Federal Agents Target Skid Row Drug Dealers
- On Thursday, the FBI and Los Angeles Police Department launched 'Operation Skid Row,' executing 44 search warrants and detaining at least 14 suspects targeting 28 individuals involved in drug trafficking.
- LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell stated the enforcement culminated from six months of joint investigative work, positioning it as a 'next step' following similar MacArthur Park drug raids earlier this year.
- Covering a 50-city-block area, the operation deployed about 100 law enforcement vehicles, with LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman noting suspects often disguised drug sales using fake homeless tents.
- With 21 of the 28 federally indicted suspects in custody, Mayor Karen Bass emphasized the effort targets criminals who 'prey on vulnerable Angelenos' struggling with addictions or mental health crises.
- Federal agents are targeting the sale of fentanyl and PCP, citing a resurgence of these drugs; authorities emphasized this was not an immigration enforcement operation but focused on drug suppliers.
