PROJECT DELIVERANCE
Fighting Cartels on the Southwest Border

The results of a nearly two-year multi-agency investigation targeting Mexican drug trafficking organizations in the U.S.—especially along the Southwest border—were announced 6/10/10, and the numbers speak for themselves:

In addition to the arrest of more than 2,200 individuals on narcotics-related charges, there were significant seizures, including:

... $154 million in U.S. currency;
... More than 2,600 pounds of heroin and methamphetamine;
... More than 71 tons of cocaine and marijuana;
... And more than 500 weapons and 500 vehicles.

“This interagency, cross-border operation has been our most extensive and most successful law enforcement effort to date targeting these deadly cartels,” Attorney General Eric Holder said during a press conference in Washington.

Added Kevin Perkins, assistant director of our Criminal Investigative Division, “Today we have all taken a major step forward to disrupt and dismantle transnational drug trafficking that originates along our Southwest border. Our success demonstrates what we can accomplish when law enforcement agencies in the United States and other nations work together.”
