The fentanyl seized by our team in this case could have yielded over 1.5 million lethal doses - enough to kill everyone in Portland twice."..
Federal and local law enforcement agencies arrested 46 Honduran nationals on drug trafficking charges in Portland, Oregon, following an extensive joint operation to disrupt open-air drug markets in Multnomah County. Authorities seized an array of illicit drugs, firearms, and cash. The Honduran nationals were reportedly working on behalf of the Mexican Sinaloa Drug Cartel, a designated foreign terror group, according to a press release.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Seattle Field Division said that the apprehended "Honduran drug traffickers" flooded the Portland area with "deadly fentanyl and other drugs." The enforcement operation that netted 46 arrests occurred in the first four months of 2025.
In total, authorities seized 44 pounds of fentanyl powder; 2,507 fentanyl pills; 22 pounds of methamphetamine; nine pounds of cocaine; two pounds of heroin; 20 firearms; and $204,007 in cash, according to the DEA.
"The fentanyl seized by our team in this case could have yielded over 1.5 million lethal doses - enough to kill everyone in Portland twice," said David F. Reames, Special Agent in Charge, DEA Seattle Field Division. "I am proud that DEA could help our partners bring this surge to a successful conclusion, saving lives here in Portland and throughout Oregon."
According to the DEA, nearly 70 percent of all drug poisonings and overdose deaths involve fentanyl, and just two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially deadly overdose.
Portland, a self-declared sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, is among the highest in the nation for fentanyl overdose deaths, as stated in a 2024 CDC report. The operation comes after the state of Oregon re-criminalized illicit drug possession last year following a failed 2020 drug decriminalization ballot measure that resulted in an increase in overdose deaths and open-air drug use on city streets,
"Fentanyl has no place in our city," said Portland Police Chief Bob Day. "Our partnership with local, state, and federal agencies makes our collective response stronger. This operation was a success, but it is only one step in a larger, sustained effort to keep Portland safe."
The joint operation was conducted by the DEA Portland District Office, the Portland Police Bureau, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US Attorney's Office, and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program.
While the apprehended subjects were described only as "Honduran nationals," federal law enforcement sources told The Post Millennial that they are likely illegal immigrants. The Post Millennial reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for confirmation but did not immediately hear back.
Judge overturns in 3....2....1....
Send them to the morons in Merryland. They are beloved by Merrylanders.
Oregon local law enforcement?? since when?
“Send them to the morons in Merryland.”
************
Merryland would probably pay for their transportation to the state.
Oh they re-criminalized drugs? It’s tough to keep up with all the insanity from state to state.
How dare the DEA disrupt a well established business! We are a country of immigrants and diversity is our strength. No doubt they’ll find a judge that will let them all go and say that they can’t be removed from the US.
Maryland has a huge shortage of beloved “Maryland Men” of illegal alien origin with Headstart and Kindergarten tattoos of daisies and bunnies on their fists.
Have they been released with dl, SS card, 10k debit card, and an iphone16 yet?
Don’t spread this around, but there is a rumor that somewhere in this country there is an honest judge. I’ll believe it when I see it, until then, it’s just a rumor.
Oregon has a track record of punishing honest judges, especially if they are Christian.
Yeah, now, and each one, individually, has an opportunity to plead his case before a judge as to why he should be allowed to stay - court date years and years from now.
There’s been a lot of activity in Oregon lately. Drones at night and have seen county sheriffs all over the place where I live. Drug dealers have left the usual areas.
They’ll be just as loved in Portland plus you save airfare cost to Merryland (I’m stealing this).
This happens when the "right" people don't receive their bribes.
” ...there is a rumor that somewhere in this country there is an honest judge.”
