Federal agencies bust major drug ring in Newark
NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) — Approximately 7,000 grams of fentanyl, heroin, and crack cocaine are now off the streets of New Jersey, thanks to a major federal drug bust. Investigators said the drug ring operated out of a senior housing complex, leaving residents terrified for their safety. More Local News 'Over the past year, the Bloods gang has terrorized the Kretchmer Homes public housing complex in Newark, New Jersey, using violence and fear to operate their drug trafficking business,' said Cheryl Ortiz, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration. More than two dozen alleged gang members are charged with drug trafficking and weapons offenses. The investigation was carried out by the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. 'This operation…removed numerous firearms and approximately 7,000 grams of heroin and fentanyl from our streets,' said Ortiz. 'That's enough fentanyl to kill 500,000 people.' Investigators claim the suspects used clever packaging to make their product seem less destructive. 'We allege that the market fentanyl, the deadliest drug in our country, and cocaine, the most addictive drug in our country, by stamping wrappers with names like 'Scarface,' 'Coco Puffs,' [and] 'Purple Rain' to make the content inside the package less scary and more attractive. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba said the raid was the result of a long-running investigation that used a variety of investigative techniques. 'Court-authorized wiretaps, controlled purchases by informants and undercover officers, hundreds of hours of surveillance, and search warrants on over a dozen locations in the Garden State,' said Habba. The defendants are each facing 10-year mandatory minimum sentences, with the possibility of up to life in prison. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Feds: Minneapolis, Dakota County search warrants stemmed from 900 lbs of meth found in Burnsville storage unit
The discovery of more than 900 pounds of crystal methamphetamine in a Burnsville storage unit led to authorities carrying out eight search warrants in the Twin Cities last week, according to a criminal complaint filed this week. The law enforcement presence during the June 3 warrant action in South Minneapolis drew protesters who were concerned it was a federal immigration enforcement action. A federal grand jury returned a four-count indictment against a 27-year-old St. Paul woman on Tuesday, charging her with assaulting officers during the protest and punching an FBI agent when she was arrested. Information in a federal criminal complaint provides the first details about the scope of the investigation that led to the search warrants. 'The search warrants were part of a long-term drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking investigation involving a transnational criminal organization,' Acting U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Joseph Thompson said in a statement. The complaint gives the following information: The 900 pounds of crystal meth found during a previous search warrant in Burnsville were 'concealed in multiple tubes separately held in large spools of metal. Agents estimate that, conservatively, this amount of methamphetamine had a street value of between $22 million and $25 million.' Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, Internal Revenue Service and Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants on June 3 in Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Lakeville, Bloomington, Minneapolis and Northfield. The warrants, authorized by a federal judge, 'directed law enforcement to search for and seize evidence related to … transportation, storage, ordering, purchase and distribution of controlled substances, money laundering, bank fraud, human trafficking, and firearms violations' for multiple years. The search warrants were filed under seal and will remain sealed, pending indictment, because the investigation is ongoing. Agents seized evidence at each of the locations, including a set of gold-plated firearms at a Northfield residence. They were 'adorned similarly to others regularly observed to be used by and seized from narco-traffickers.' At a Burnsville business, agents saw multiple 'Scarface' movie portraits. 'Such 'homage' images are regularly observed by law enforcement as adornments to the walls of homes and businesses of those involved in the drug and related money laundering trades,' the complaint said. Agents started carrying out the warrants at residences at 6 a.m. on June 3 and then progressed to business locations. Shortly after 10 a.m., federal agents began executing a search warrant at a Minneapolis restaurant at Lake Street and Bloomington Avenue.

They 'appeared to be under the mistaken belief that the gathered law enforcement officers were present to arrest individuals illegally present in the country for immigration offenses,' the complaint said. 'This was incorrect.' While 'some people in the crowd were engaged in legal protest activity,' there were incidents of assaults on law enforcement and federal agents worked to identify the people involved. One was identified as the 27-year-old St. Paul woman, the complaint said. She was seen on body-worn cameras and open-source videos — she kicked an FBI SWAT officer, pushed another FBI SWAT officer and threw a softball at the back of a Hennepin County sheriff's deputy, according to the charges. She is in custody. Georgia Fort, founder of BLCK Press, wrote that the woman was arrested after leaving an interview at her downtown St. Paul office. 'Video clips circulating online … showed her being assaulted by agents in fatigues,' Fort wrote of what happened last week. She also said the woman's arrest led to unanswered questions: 'How did federal agents know exactly where she would be — and when? Was she being surveilled? Or targeted for speaking to the press?'

Opinion - Trump has a historic opportunity to save lives in the fentanyl crisis
Something extraordinary is happening in the American overdose crisis. Recent federal data show that annual drug overdose deaths fell by 27 percent in 2024. This marks an unprecedented reversal after two decades of almost uninterrupted increases in overdose deaths. Overdose deaths were initially driven by prescription opioids in the 1990s, began to shift toward heroin in the early 2010s and, since 2015, have been driven mostly by illicit fentanyl. There's still a long way to go in the overdose crisis. More than 80,000 people are still dying annually of overdose, roughly the number heading into the COVID-19 pandemic when the fentanyl crisis was already raging. But the Trump administration now has an extraordinary opportunity to achieve a lasting public health victory. To its credit, the administration has been vocal about the threat posed by fentanyl. Within hours of reentering the White House, Trump pushed fentanyl to the center of his trade disputes with China and Mexico. The administration was correct to press China to clamp down on trafficking in fentanyl precursors and pressuring Mexico to eradicate cartel-run clandestine labs. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi has prominently touted the success of Drug Enforcement Administration law enforcement operations, publicizing major drug busts and tying these actions to border control. The Biden White House had also been engaging in diplomatic efforts to reduce the fentanyl supply and to disrupt cartels. Research suggests that focused law enforcement operations can disrupt drug markets, at least over the short term. The problem is that these gains can be hard to sustain. Clandestine labs can be shut down, only to reopen the next day. Fentanyl is potent, compact and easy to manufacture with simple kitchen tools. Intercepting shipments at the southern border has proven incredibly challenging — a single kilogram brick concealed in a car can supply the ingredients for 500,000 pressed pills. Supply reductions won't work without a focus on decreasing demand for fentanyl. Almost six million Americans have an opioid addiction, often sustained by using multiple times a day. Somewhat paradoxically, squeezing supply can increase the risk of fatal overdose. If the Trump administration could squash the flow of fentanyl today, there would be millions of Americans who would be sick with opioid withdrawal tomorrow. For a fortunate few who are able to give up opioids 'cold turkey,' a rapid decrease in supply would be just what they need to stop using. But this strategy won't work for most people who are seriously dependent on fentanyl. If and when they return to using fentanyl, they will have lower tolerance and be at much higher risk of death. The good news is that there is a public health toolbox to help people with opioid addiction — tools that have undeniably contributed to the recent drop in overdose deaths. Medications like methadone and buprenorphine treat the core symptoms of opioid addiction, such as craving and withdrawal. Medications cut overdose risk by more than half compared to treatment without medication. Naloxone paired with overdose education has been incredibly effective not only as a tool for first responders but for people who use drugs and their social networks. For people who are still actively using drugs, fentanyl test strips and safer use supplies can guide more informed choices about whether and how to use drugs. Test strips are particularly useful for people who, for example, recreationally use cocaine and are seeking to avoid potent opioids. The administration has endorsed these tools. The White House Office of National Drug Control gave medication treatment, naloxone and test strips a prominent place next to law enforcement in their first priorities. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has also supported methadone and buprenorphine. But rhetoric won't work without resources. DOGE has already downsized the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, reducing the scope of its operations through staff reductions and cuts to grants. The White House now proposes to eliminate the agency altogether and absorb it into a new Administration for a Healthy America. The SUPPORT Act, a bipartisan law that funds state and local government responses to the overdose crisis, just passed a renewal vote on the House floor. Congress, at the same time, is debating the most consequential cuts to Medicaid spending in decades in Trump's 'big beautiful bill,' putting in jeopardy the primary source of coverage that has expanded access to addiction treatment for millions of low-income Americans. There's still time for an 'Aha' moment. Cracking down on international drug cartels was a good start, but maintaining resources to treat Americans with active addiction is needed to sustain the drop in overdose deaths. Doing so would not only be smart politics — it would also live up to the promise of making America healthier.
