By targeting the chemicals, labs, transport networks, and leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG—both at home and abroad—we’re stopping fentanyl and other dangerous drugs from getting into our communities.

DEA gets results:
âś… 1,287 arrests during two global surges
✅ 1.8 M+ counterfeit pills seized
✅ 2 kg+ of fentanyl, meth & cocaine taken off the market
Â
This success is built on deep cooperation with Mexican & Colombian law enforcement, the @HSTaskForce, the IC, and our state & local partners.
Â
The goal is clear: dismantle the cartels, cut the supply, and protect every American.

This Sinaloa Cartel drug trafficker used every method of transportation possible to poison Americans, including private planes, tunnels, trucks, and cars with hidden compartments.
Drug trafficking is not a victimless crime. That’s why @DOJCrimDiv and @HSTaskForce are dismantling these deadly networks. justice.gov/opa/pr/sinaloa-c…

Sinaloa Cartel Drug Transporter Pleads Guilty to International Drug Trafficking: Case Is Part of @HSTaskForce Initiative
“Juan Hernandez Ochoa will no longer be able to enrich himself by pushing poison into our communities thanks to the prosecutors involved in this case and the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by President Trump,” said @AAGDuva. “Today’s guilty plea is another major blow to the Sinaloa Cartel and the transnational criminal organizations that profit from addiction, violence, and death. Our message is simple: we will not stop until these cartels are dismantled and their leaders are brought to justice.”

Cartels operate at a scale no single law enforcement body can handle alone, they move across borders and exploit the gaps between agencies. The Homeland Security Task Force is closing those gaps — permanently.
@HSTaskForce is a unified, nationwide response to transnational crime where federal, state, and local and law enforcement work as one to protect the homeland.
