The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida announced over 30 arrests related to weapons and drug trafficking in the last two months, emphasizing a concerted effort under Operation Showdown. U.S. Attorney Hayden O'Byrne, referencing the Justice Department's 'Take Back America' initiative, underscored the focus on combating illegal immigration, international trafficking, and violent crime. The operation led to the seizure of significant quantities of drugs and firearms, including stolen weapons linked to violent incidents. O'Byrne highlighted the growing dangers posed by fentanyl and other substances packaged deceitfully as pharmaceuticals.
"As we've been directed by the president, we're taking back America. Whether it's one street corner at a time, we're going to get the criminals that are flooding our communities with lethal fentanyl and other drugs and using firearms to further these criminal activities."
"This stuff is infecting our communities and it's becoming ever more dangerous both in potency and the way it's packaged to look like pharmaceutical pills."
