May, 2013-

Five suspected heroin-overdose emergencies at Port Angeles in the past 10 days.

 

Domestic heroin trafficking makes a mockery of all war on terror crime fighting efforts, tactics, tools, & technologies.

Welcome Home Troops

 

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

At U.S. border, expensive drones generate lots of buzz, few results

Why hasn’t the Department of Homeland Security been able to 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-

 

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.
