DEA-
Poulsbo heroin-
23 pounds of heroin valued at more than $1 million makes it past the US Dept. of Homeland Security and into Snohomish County:
Sheriff: 23 pounds of cartel heroin seized, 8 arrested
Looks like what gets printed as news is sometimes just a press release from whatever agency conducted an operation:
Police break up heroin trafficking ring
Police: suspects ran heroin for Mexican cartel from home
Heroin traffickers are frequently successful at what they do. If terrorists were just as interested in entering the US- it appears that federal departments and agencies would have no way to stop them.
As always- the big law enforcement success story comes with zero reporting or questions from newspeople about why the proud War on Terror is unable to keep heroin out of the US.
Welcome Home Troops
Thanks for your service
Question for newspeople: What role does the US Border Patrol play in keeping heroin away from the Kitsap & Olympic Peninsulas?

Newspeople- please consider doing a report/asking questions Re: why the US Department of Homeland Security is unable to keep heroin out of the US.
What role do 1,200-horsepower Border Patrol Interceptor boats play in keeping heroin away from the Olympic Peninsula?
Special ID cards make it virtually impossible for those who wish to do harm or violate U.S. laws to move heroin into the Puget Sound area.
Heroin for profit-
If heroin was prevented from entering the US- law enforcement paydays like this one might not be possible:
Justice Department distributes more than $3.4 million to local law enforcement
