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.

Earlier this week, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Arizona announced that
over 1 million fentanyl pills were seized in the state in Fiscal Year
2019. The cumulative seizure easily surpasses FY2018 when approximately
380,000 pills were seized by DEA’s Phoenix Field Division and law
enforcement agencies throughout the state. By comparison to FY2016,
20,000 pills were seized statewide, according to the DEA.
2 mgs is a fatal dose of fetanyl for most people. 23000 kgs of fentanyl is enough to kill 11.5 billion people!
This is a biological weapon being smuggled into our nation from China!

The thought that the corrupt Mexican government which is controlled by the drug cartels is in possession of 26 tons of Fentanyl is terrifying.
