Federal authorities and local law enforcement agencies have teamed up for 36 joint operations, resulting in over 200 arrests and the seizure of a massive amount of drugs, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) announced Monday.
The FBI’s Los Angeles office said it added more resources for Operation Coast to Coast in the month of December. The operation, which is part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative following an executive order by President Donald Trump, aims to eliminate “criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad,” according to the FBI.
