Mexican troops have made a historic seizure of over a ton of fentanyl in Northern Sinaloa, coinciding with U.S. requests for stricter drug and immigration control. The operation led to the arrest of two suspects and confiscation of firearms. Experts indicate the timing of these busts is influenced by U.S. pressure, particularly from the incoming Trump administration, demanding action against drug trafficking and immigration. Fentanyl seizures fell dramatically earlier this year, highlighting ongoing challenges within Mexican law enforcement and the drug trade.
