Seizures at the California-Mexico border accounted for nearly half of all illegal drugs encountered by U.S. border authorities, with more than 275,000 pounds seized in fiscal 2024.
California led in methamphetamine seizures, detecting over 101,000 pounds, while fentanyl smuggling has shifted east to Arizona, where more than 13,000 pounds were confiscated this past year.
Operation Apollo has resulted in over 50,000 pounds of fentanyl seized at U.S.-Mexico ports, enough for over 2 billion lethal doses, underscoring the operation's focus on intelligence and partnerships.
The operation not only targeted fentanyl but also resulted in seizures of meth, cocaine, weapons, parts, and $7.5 million in illicit funds, highlighting extensive trafficking networks.
