Symbol of a significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence at Port Angeles that came together more than a decade ago.

Have Port Angeles based Homeland Security/CBP units been able to create any shortage of cartel product/fentanyl in the Puget Sound area? Has any newsperson ever asked questions on this?

Operations Are Moving Forward:

It will interesting to see when a shortage of cartel product develops inside the US.

Press Release Style of News Reporting

What we get now is sort of a press release style of news reporting where a statement is prepared by whatever agency was involved in the latest policy update, drug bust/federal grant money award, etc.

Newspeople post this statement as is. A 5th grade book report would require more in the way of asking questions.

In The News:

Bremerton police prevent 40 pounds of drugs from hitting the street

KIRO 7 News
Feb 11, 2025

The Bremerton Police Department says it prevented 40 pounds of drugs from getting onto the streets.

“It’s thanks to an investigation that happened the week of February 3, with help from Sequim and Port Angeles police.

The department says it found bags of fentanyl, cocaine, meth, heroin, and cocaine as well as several guns and about $75,000 in cash.”

“Bremerton police say the legislature’s re-criminalization of drug possession has given them an avenue to combat this criminal activity and hold drug dealers accountable.”

“This will no doubt save numerous lives that would have otherwise added to the epidemic of drug overdoses the city has been experiencing,” the department says.

State of WA had placed LE agencies on hold with legislation that allowed drug addicts to use on the sidewalk. Now, maybe, that’s over.

No matter what elected officials had decided to do in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security was on the job in recent years. Any cartel product arriving on the streets of Bremerton, Seattle or Port Angeles made its way past federal agents at border crossings and ports of entry prior to arriving in the Puget Sound area.

Zero Questions From Newspeople

Bremerton police prevented 40 pounds of drugs from hitting the street. What agency failed to prevent cartel product from entering the Puget Sound area?

“In 2023, more than 70 county residents died from opioid overdoses and another two dozen succumbed from other drugs, officials said.”

Campaign against drug use underway in Kitsap

By Mike De Felice Kitsap News Group • Jan 30, 2025

Background – Port Angeles CBP

Unlike many cities of its size, Port Angeles maintains a significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence.

Are newspeople forbidden to ask questions related to Port Angeles Homeland Security funding and performance?

Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.

New Port Angeles USBP Station opened more than a decade ago. Has the new station been able to prevent cartel drugs from entering the Olympic Peninsula?

Newspeople remain silent.

After a Port Angeles CBP buildup that took place more than a decade ago, is there any follow up made by the press to inform the public on whatever results have been achieved?

If you run a government operation-these are the reporters you want to see on interview day:

2024:

With a significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence at Port Angeles:

“Clallam County has one of the highest per capita rates of drug overdoses in the state…”

Look for newspeople to ask zero questions in this area:

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made an arrest of any kind?

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made an arrest linked in any way to the US/Canada border?

Has massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca played any role in reducing Clallam County drug overdose numbers?

Have opioid lawsuits played any role in improving the situation?

How do cartels react to opioid lawsuits?

Are passports/enhanced/REAL IDs effective in keeping cartel drugs out of the US?

Standard driver’s licenses have not been accepted at the border since 2009.

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made any seizure that kept any amount of fentanyl, heroin or any opioid from entering Clallam County?

Were Clallam County drug overdose death numbers higher before the US Dept. of Homeland Security was established (2002) or are the numbers higher with a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security in place? This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?
