DEA busts drug cartels and uncovers social media drug trafficking.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has completed a year-long operation called "Operation Last Mile," which targeted the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels, responsible for the majority of fentanyl and methamphetamines killing Americans. The operation led to over 3,000 arrests and revealed that social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat are a key part of cartel drug distribution. The DEA seized almost 44 million fentanyl pills and more than 8,000 firearms, with over 1,000 cases involving social media-type messaging and platforms to help distribute drugs.
