Bondi Touts Takedown of 6 High-Level Sinaloa Cartel Members and Largest Fentanyl Seizure in U.S. History

Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced a major operation led by the DEA and the New Mexico District Attorney’s Office resulted in significant drug busts and arrests of high-ranking Sinaloa cartel members. 

During the operation, law enforcement seized 11.5 kilos of fentanyl and three million fentanyl pills, marking the largest confiscation of its kind in U.S. history. 

Alberto Salazar Amaya, the alleged leader of the Sinaloa cartel, was apprehended along with five other individuals who were in the country illegally. Amaya was captured in Salem, Oregon, where authorities also found five million dollars in cash, luxury cars, and other illegal goods. The operation yielded illicit substances such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin in several states, including New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.

“These pills were stamped as oxycodone. Let that sink in. Three million pills going on our streets. Three million pills, the streets of our country, laced with fentanyl, labeled as oxycodone. And, they were in all different strengths of fentanyl within them.”
