primarily in vehicles driven by U.S. citizens. CBP and HSI throughout the past two years have run operations that mobilized hundreds of personnel – CBP officers, special agents, import specialists, and intelligence analysts – through surges and deployments at Southwest Border POEs, airports, express consignment facilities, international mail facilities, container stations, and warehouses across the country.</p> <ul> <li>CBP announced <strong><a href="/newsroom/announcements/cbp-announces-next-phase-fight-targeting-criminals-funneling-fentanyl">Operation Plaza Spike</a></strong> in April 2024, leading an expanded, multi-agency effort to target the transnational criminals funneling fentanyl from Mexico into American communities. Operation Plaza Spike targets the cartels that facilitate the flow of deadly fentanyl, as well as its analogs and precursors and tools to make the drugs. It is designed to disrupt operations in the “plazas,” cartel territories located directly south of the United States that are natural logistical chokepoints within the cartels’ operations.</li> <li>Launched in October 2023, in Southern California, <strong><a href="/newsroom/national-media-release/dhs-doubles-down-cbp-efforts-continue-combat-fentanyl-and-synthetic">Operation Apollo</a></strong> is a CBP counter-fentanyl operation that disrupts drug and chemical supplies, collects and shares intelligence, and leverages valuable state and local law enforcement partnerships. Operation Apollo expanded into Arizona in April 2024. In July, CBP announced <strong><a href="/newsroom/national-media-release/icymi-cbp-announces-expanded-operations-targeting-transnational">Operation Apollo X</a></strong> to expand that kind of collaboration to El Paso, Texas.</li> <li>Other recent operations include: <ul> <li><strong><a href="/newsroom/national-media-release/statement-acting-commissioner-troy-miller-cbp-s-successful-fentanyl">Operation Blue Lotus</a></strong>, launched in March 2023, surged CBP and HSI resources to Southwest Border POEs and worked with state, local, Tribal, and territorial partners to expose networks. <strong>Operation Four Horsemen</strong> was a complementary United States Border Patrol (USBP) operation to stop fentanyl between POEs and at checkpoints near the border. As a result of these two operations, DHS seized nearly 10,000 pounds of fentanyl, and more than 10,000 pounds of other narcotics like cocaine and methamphetamines.</li> <li><strong><a class="usa-link usa-link--external" href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/07/13/secretary-mayorkas-delivers-updates-dhs-campaign-stop-fentanyl">Operation Artemis</a></strong>, a collaboration between CBP and HSI, targeted the illicit fentanyl supply chain, leveraging multidisciplined interagency "jump teams" at strategic locations. The four months Operation Artemis led to over 900 seizures, including over 13,000 pounds of fentanyl precursor chemicals.</li> <li><strong><a class="usa-link usa-link--external" href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/06/22/next-phase-dhs-campaign-stop-fentanyl-will-focus-interdiction-and-supply-chain">Operation Rolling Wave</a></strong> surged inbound inspections at Southwest Border checkpoints, covering every sector and employing predictive analysis and intelligence sharing.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--section paragraph--view-mode--default usa-accordion usa-section-accordion" id='accordion-39305'> <button id="btn-acc39305" aria-controls="acc39305" aria-expanded="true" class="usa-accordion__button"> <h3 style="margin: 0;"> Latest Fentanyl Media Releases </h3> </button> <div class="usa-accordion__content usa-prose" id="acc39305"> <div class="grid-col-fill"> <div class="field field--name-field-content field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--uswds-card-container paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--39304"> <ul class="usa-card-group"> <li class="tablet:grid-col-12 usa-card show-button"> <div class="usa-card__container"> <div class="usa-card__body"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--uswds-card paragraph--view-mode--view-block"> <div class="grid-col-fill"> <div class="field field--name-field-view-block field--type-block-field field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="views-element-container block block-views block-views-block:newsroom-block-16" id="block-views-block-newsroom-block-16"> <div><div class="view view-newsroom view-id-newsroom view-display-id-block_16 js-view-dom-id-0be39cf390972df1a730426ed379652f0a573f4c40ef260c3382e8af26271b4f"> <div class="view-header"> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="item-list"> <ul class="undecorated"> <li><div class="views-field views-field-title"><span class="field-content"><a href="/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-releases-october-2024-monthly-update" hreflang="en">CBP Releases October 2024 Monthly Update</a></span></div></li> <li><div class="views-field views-field-title"><span class="field-content"><a href="/newsroom/local-media-release/norfolk-cbp-officers-intercept-dangerous-fentanyl-export-vehicle" hreflang="en">Norfolk CBP Officers Intercept Dangerous Fentanyl in Export Vehicle Container Destined to Sierra Leone</a></span></div></li> <li><div class="views-field views-field-title"><span class="field-content"><a href="/newsroom/announcements/statement-senior-official-performing-duties-commissioner-troy-miller-results" hreflang="en">Statement from Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner Troy A.
