Authorities Arrest Over 600 Sinaloa Cartel Gang Members September 09, 2025 \| Members of the DEA attend a press conference at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York City, Aug. 25.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration carried out an operation targeting “one of the world’s most violent and powerful drug cartels” that resulted in 617 arrests, according to the agency. From Aug. 25 through 29, the DEA conducted an operation across all of its 23 divisions targeting the Sinaloa Cartel. President Donald Trump designated the criminal cartel, based out of Mexico, as a foreign terrorist organization in February. “The Sinaloa Cartel remains one of the most significant threats to public safety, public health and our national security,” according to the DEA.

Additionally, the DEA seized over $11 million in currency, over $1.6 million in assets, and 420 firearms. “These results demonstrate the full weight of DEA’s commitment to protecting the American people,” Terrance Cole, DEA administrator, said in a statement. “Every kilogram of poison seized, every dollar stripped from the cartels, and every arrest we make represents lives saved and communities defended. DEA will not relent until the Sinaloa Cartel is dismantled from top to bottom.” The Sinaloa Cartel operates in at least 40 countries across the U.S., according to the DEA, and its tens of thousands of members “are responsible for the production, manufacturing, distribution, and operations related to trafficking dangerous and deadly synthetic drugs.” The operation comes amid the Trump administration’s prioritization of securing the U.S. border with Mexico and arresting and removing criminal illegal aliens living in the U.S. dailysignal.com
