Federal authorities on Thursday announced the arrests of more than 2,200 people in 19 states on narcotics-related charges in the largest in a series of operations targeting violent Mexican drug cartels.
The 2,266 arrests over the past 22 months were part of Project Deliverance, a joint effort with Mexican authorities that the Justice Department did not disclose until Thursday.
Investigators from more than 300 federal, state, local and foreign law enforcement agencies seized 74 tons of drugs, 501 weapons and $154 million in cash, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced.
The volume of drug, weapon and cash seizures will put a large dent in the Mexican cartel’s operations! It will never be stopped, but it sure will slow the traffic down! The pressure on the flow must be like a tourniquet! Slow it down, then amputate it!
