Pure fentanyl is expensive and dangerous. Just a few specks of it can kill you or at least make you very ill. It's mostly used to mix to create other medications. But you can only imagine with 23,000+ KILOS that it's an awful lot of death powder they took off the streets. It's responsible for a growing amount of deaths. Now it needs to get out of Mexico's hands or destroyed before the cartel seizes it somehow!!

Major Fentanyl Shipment from China Seized in Mexico

The Secretariat of the Navy of Mexico (La Secretaría de Marina–SEMAR) has reported a major fentanyl seizure believed to be of multi-ton in the Mexican port city of Lázaro Cárdenas in the state of Michoacán.

The Mexican government announced the major fentanyl seizure of initially reported by local media outlets to be approximately 25.75 tons (23,368 kilograms or 51,517 pounds) of powdered fentanyl that originated in Shanghai China and was headed to Culiacán, Sinaloa, the home base for the Sinaloa Cartel. According to a government spokesperson, the seizure was a result of a joint operation led by the Mexican naval elements of the 10th naval zone and Lázaro Cárdenas customs enforcement personnel as reported by local media. Michoacán is located in western Mexico and has a stretch of coastline along the Pacific Ocean.

According to government authorities, investigators found the cargo inside a container of a Danish flagged vessel with a cargo manifest indicating that the contents consisted of Calcium Chloride. Authorities took a random sampling of the powdered substance to a specialized laboratory of Mexican Customs and the substance later tested positive for fentanyl. Officials seized a total of 931 sacks of the substance for a total weight of 23,368 kilograms. Government officials indicated that the weight of the suspected fentanyl is still being determined since the investigation is ongoing and later reports indicated that an official weight would be reported at a later date.

According to Breitbart Texas law enforcement sources, powered fentanyl can be easily mass-produced into the black-market oxycodone M-30’s known as “Mexican Oxy.” The deadly pills are often blamed for contributing to the opioid overdose crisis in the U.S. and the Sinaloa cartel has stepped up production of the product for the U.S. drug market.

Breitbart Texas reported on significant fentanyl seizures related to the Sinaloa Cartel. In April, Mexican federal investigators discovered an active lab in Culiacán. Also in April, the Mexican Army and state police seized 12,260 pills a checkpoint in Sonora. Last week, Breitbart Texas reported on the arrest of two fentanyl cooks working for the Sinaloa Cartel. In late July, an illegal immigrant from Mexico and a former municipal police officer were indicted in Amarillo, Texas, after he was arrested for transporting approximately 72 pounds of the opioid.

Probably on it's way, and once at the border it would have been as easy as crying "Amnesty, I sue you all, food sucks here, better accommodations please, I need to see AOC asap!" and they get right in, with a 20 ton package over their shoulder in a bad. Mexican Santa Claus!

Yep! When I was on the cutter, we hosted a major meeting the Mexican Navy and Army that created
a treaty to combat smuggling as well as Search and Rescue cooperation.

I am not sure about the present day, but in the 1980's they had gotten
retired WWII destroyers from the US Navy. La Paz is homeport for many of them
in Baja.

I think Ensenada had one or two there. I just do not recall.
