This historic seizure was not only celebrated by President Claudia Sheinbaum, but also by her American counterpart, Joe Biden, because the amount seized was enough to cause the death of 15% of the more than 300 million Americans.
“I thank President Claudia Sheinbaum for her leadership and collaboration that made this possible, and the many military and law enforcement officials on both sides of the border who have dedicated their lives to combating fentanyl, disrupting traffickers and save their fellow citizens,” was reported in a statement from the US government.
Fentanyl seizures have continued, although to a lesser extent. On December 13, 62 kilograms of fentanyl and 77 more kilograms of other substances were seized in Baja California. Another blow to organized crime was the destruction of 100 tons of chemical precursors, including cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine in Sinaloa.
In the security report presented last Tuesday, Secretary García Harfuch reported that the seizures have been possible thanks to collaboration between institutions.
“As part of this collaboration in the current administration, the following results have been obtained: 6,745 people have been arrested for high-impact crimes, 6.1 tons of drugs have been seized, in addition to 1,168 kilos and 428,578 pills of fentanyl,” he reported. .
