11 face charges in international drug trafficking ring spanning from DC to South Korea
“Pirro said the investigation into this ring began two years ago, stemming from a drug overdose death in Washington, D.C.”
Reported as a big team effort and success in May of 2026 after drug traffickers defeat all federal efforts to keep drugs out.
The Fantasy Newsperson Asks
What was happening at border crossing/port of entry inspections during this 2 year investigation?
Do the good guys who made the local busts notify the good guys at border crossings and ports of entry about the weak links in their process?
How much illegal product moved into Hometown, USA during this 2 year investigation?
How many victims were harmed by the drugs involved in this 2 year investigation?
Love to see newspeople ask:
Were federal authorities at border crossings and ports of entry notified of this ongoing investigation?
Did the drug traffickers get fast track screening at border entry points so as not to disrupt this ongoing investigation?
If the drug traffickers were given a pass at the border- would that have tipped them off as to the investigation- or would that have been seen as standard protocol?
Imagine LE authorities observe a shoplifter or bank robber in action. Instead of going in to make an arrest they back off and conduct an investigation that goes on for 2 years. What if they applied the same tactic Re: crimes involving arson, terrorism, child abuse, DUI, etc.
Has any city, county or state jurisdiction been able to cleanup their drug problem using these methods?
Did the advantage of designating cartels as terrorist organizations back on Feb 20, 2025 reduce the availability of fentanyl in the Puget Sound area?
If Kristi Noem tells us on Feb 4, 2026 that the border is secure, how are drugs still coming in?
Standard newspeople remain silent.
Has the removal of any cartel boss ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
If Kristi Noem has sealed US borders why would suspected drug trafficking boats be a problem?
Since the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count has kept cartel drugs out, are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice?
Has any US community announced that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?
Is there any possibility that any DEA office or DEA budget will be downsized due to the success of all US Dept. of Homeland Security/Dept. of War efforts in recent months?
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. 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?
Some version of REAL ID has been required at border crossings and ports of entry since 2009.
More drug overdose deaths now, or before REAL ID?
Has any community anywhere in the US downsized or shut down any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team due to the success of Dept. of War strikes on narcoterrorist drug boats, ICE crackdowns and designating cartels as terrorist organizations?
Any questions from newspeople?
Whatever is here, it’s been going on for decades. The fantasy newsperson still waits for answers.
Welcome Home Troops
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:
Why It Matters
Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.
If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?
Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.
