The fentanyl epidemic has become so widespread that recently, the DEA headquarters in Washington issued a nationwide alert about fake pills laced with fentanyl.
Nemesio Oseguera-Cervantes, commonly referred to by his alias El Mencho, is the undisputed leader of Cartel Jalisco New Generation , one of the most ruthless Mexican drug cartels in the world. El Mencho is also on the DEA’s most-wanted list for running a crime organization that traffics an immense number of deadly narcotics, including fentanyl, into the U.S.
Deanne Reuter is the special agent in charge of the DEA Miami Division. She oversees all DEA operations throughout the state of Florida.“The cartels are trying to drive addiction and get higher profits,” Reuter said. “And they can do this by sending more and more fentanyl and methamphetamine into the U.S. to poison our communities.”about fake pills laced with fentanyl. It used to be that four out of every fake pill made in cartel-owned labs were laced with fentanyl.
