Heroin epidemic gripping Port Angeles

Frequent updates here

 

Many people have risked their ass in far off lands to keep terrorists from visiting the homeland.

Love to see a reporter ask The Joint Chiefs of Staff how all that can be justified while the US Dept. of Homeland Security is unable keep heroin out of the US.

Think terrorists are smart enough to pose as drug traffickers- then cross into the US free of screening, scanning, pat downs, special IDs, inspection of personal items, etc.

 

Don’t worry-

The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe-

US Border Patrol, Port Angeles, WA-

Aug 2010-

A US Border Patrol spokesperson tells the press:

“Border Patrol spokeswoman Jenny Burke said Monday that the agency will not release any information on the number of arrests made by agents who work out of the Port Angeles station, the names of those arrested, what they were arrested for and the disposition of their cases”

“The number of arrests for Port Angeles’ or any other station is “law enforcement-sensitive,” Burke said.”

“The names of those arrested and other facts about them are not available for release under the 1974 Privacy Act, she said.”

 

Denied FOIA requests-

“The Border Patrol has refused repeated requests by the Peninsula Daily News — including those made under the Freedom of Information Act — for arrest totals for the Port Angeles station, which covers a territory that includes Clallam and Jefferson counties.”

 

Background here.

 

Another federal agency- another policy:

Port Angeles is home to a new, $11.9 million, 50 agent US Border Patrol facility.

 

Why is the Border Patrol here?

We are told the #1 US Border Patrol objective is to stop terrorists.

The US Border Patrol explains this objective at a local public forum- this YouTube video covers Border Patrol objectives at 3:50

Why hasn’t the Department of Homeland Security been able to keep heroin out of the US?

Is heroin crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca?

The Border Patrol at Port Angeles has not made an arrest related to the US/Canada border in almost three years.

 

Where does local heroin come from?

“According to reports from the U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials interviewed by the Tribune, meth became harder to produce in Mexico, so the cartels and their gangs turned to producing heroin. Needing a distribution route into the western U.S., the Mexican gangs chose the Interstate 5 corridor.”

 

Minnesota has a problem too.

“Federal law enforcement officials say the heroin that shows up in Minnesota comes to the state across the U.S. border from Mexico. For the most part, it is heroin from the Sinaloa drug cartel that is trafficked to Chicago and then to points around the Midwest.”

 

Mexican Heroin Causing Deaths All Over U.S.

Elsewhere in the US- heroin use is on the rise.

 

Maybe it’s time for investigative journalists to ask some questions about local US Border Patrol operations. Looking for answers on secret arrest statistics, denied FOIA requests and a local USBP whistleblower investigation that resulted in further suppression of information.

Each one is evidence that- 11 years after 911- the US Dept. of Homeland Security is unable to prevent criminal traffic from entering the US.

911 should have been a drug trafficker’s worst nightmare. The US Dept. of Homeland Security- a whole new federal department- was created to stop terrorists and prevent another 911.
