Fentanyl has quickly become one of the US’s deadliest-ever drug threats.

According to a recent Department of Justice (DoJ) indictment, around 196 Americans died every day from the drug between 2019 and 2021, while in 2022, the Drug Enforcement Agency seized the equivalent of around 410 million potentially lethal doses of the synthetic opioid — enough to kill everyone in the US.

But despite government efforts to crack down on supply chains, the drug, which is 50 times stronger than heroin, continues to pour into the country.

This is largely due to the ruthless Sinaloa Cartel crime empire, one of the world’s most powerful drug trafficking organizations.
