The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned more than a dozen individuals and entities tied to the U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Sinaloa Cartel and its fentanyl trafficking activities.
The Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) partnered on investigations that led to the sanctions by OFAC. The Treasury Department stated, “These sanctions were further coordinated with the Government of Mexico’s financial intelligence unit, the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera.“
“As President Trump has made clear, this Administration will not allow narco-terrorists to flood our borders with poison,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Treasury will continue to target terrorist cartels and their fentanyl trafficking networks to protect our communities and Keep America Safe.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Bessent as he oversees the imposition of sanctions against members and supporters of terrorist and trafficking organizations.
- For Administrator Terry Cole as he heads the Drug Enforcement Agency and collaborate with Homeland Security officials.
- For President Trump and his Cabinet as they continue interventions to stop drug trafficking into the United States.
