Significant Victory as $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security fails to keep cartel product from arriving in the Puget Sound area.
The press release style of news reporting means that a statement is prepared by whatever agency was involved in the latest policy update, drug bust/federal grant money award, etc.
Newspeople play along by asking zero questions. They pass along whatever press release local agencies come up with.
A 5th grade book report would require more in the way of asking questions.

Tacoma Police say large drug bust a ‘significant victory’ in opioid crisis
“On Feb. 16, TPD’s Patrol and Investigations Division finished an investigation into a suspected drug trafficker. Police said the suspect specialized in distributing fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin, mainly along the city’s Pacific Avenue corridor.”
“The investigation showed the suspect had ties to cartel members near the US southern border and would move large amounts of drugs back to Tacoma to be sold.”
“After obtaining a search warrant, police confiscated 83 pounds of methamphetamine, about 87,000 fentanyl pills, and nearly a half-pound of brown tar heroin with an estimated value of $550,000.”
“They also recovered a handgun loaded with armor-piercing bullets, which Tacoma Police said are commonly known as “cop-killer bullets,” and body armor worn by the suspect during the arrest.”
“During a search of the suspect’s home, police found four more guns, including two that were stolen, along with more armor-piercing bullets.”

Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
Has General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger reduced access to cartel product anywhere in the US?
Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?
Newspeople remain silent.

WWII costume reminds us of a time before decades of undeclared/unwon wars stacked up.
The Department of Defense track record goes back to 1949.
The uniparty and the press appear to be OK with undeclared/unwon wars.
