Puget Sound- DHS Unable To Keep Cartels Out

Greater Puget Sound area-

Buckley, WA:

“This was a major drug bust in an ongoing effort to stop the methamphetamine pipeline from Mexico,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist.

Stopping the pipeline after product moves 1300 miles north?

“Police searched a hidden compartment in an SUV and found more than 31 pounds of methamphetamine.”

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 drug cartels out of the US.

Thanks for your service

Drug traffickers continue to say FU to passports, enhanced driver’s licenses & all other post-911 efforts designed to keep terrorists out of the US:

Snohomish County heroin deaths called ‘epidemic’

Heroin busts could finance police construction in Snohomish

“Most of the money comes from a string of federal heroin raids in and around Snohomish. Ultimately the suspects were unable to prove they obtained the cash legally, allowing police to go through the process to seize it, the chief said.”

Bremerton:

“Prescription monitoring programs and formula changes have made it harder for addicts to gain access to heroinlike highs from prescription painkillers like OxyContin. In the wake of those changes, users have turned to cheaper black tar heroin, trafficked from Mexico.”

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

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.

Poulsbo heroin-

“Heroin comes from Mexico, across the border, it generally flows through Yakima, then goes to the Seattle area and disperses out from there.”

Kitsap County WA-

“The cartels control the flow of heroin across the border.”

“All of our heroin is from Mexico and it’s black tar heroin.”

US Department of Homeland Security-

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:

Cocaine-

29 kilograms of cocaine gets past the US Dept. of Homeland Security and into Washington State- US Border Patrol notifies Canadian authorities as product moves into B.C.

Port Angeles-

Massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca fails to keep heroin out of Port Angeles:

Heroin epidemic gripping Port Angeles

Question for newspeople:

What role do 1,200-horsepower Border Patrol Interceptor boats play in keeping heroin away from the Olympic Peninsula?

“… their main interaction with the boating public: Boarding boats and checking for ID, getting a “vibe,” as Jeff P. called it, for what’s up.”
