DOJ announces arrests in multi-state drug ring

WATCH: The Department of Justice and local authorities announced arrests involving a multi-state drug ring after a 2-year investigation Thursday morning.

The DOJ said a Seattle area family “played a leading role in fentanyl distribution” and some of the traffickers targeted Native American communities in Washington state and Montana.

I appreciate all the good work and I like seeing who is actually working for a paycheck and these types of drug busts allow ME to be at ease knowing the proof is in the pudding as WE can see. Working together makes progress is all I know

Great job! I hope it makes a huge difference.

Where are the mugshots of those arrested? Seems that law enforcement has adopted a policy of keeping the public in the dark and use the excuse that there's an ongoing investigation.

To the DOJ when are you going to come down on Pierce County for allowing open air prostitution??
We have foot massage parlors on every corner these are all cash businesses run by people who are not US citizens and there's human trafficking going on.
I hope it'll get your attention someday soon. As we know a lot of this cash is used in the drug trade. Prostitution and drug trade go hand in hand as well as human trafficking.

If all there was is $114, 000 cash then there is A LOT more searching to do

And will the ultra selective justice be dealt to the local law enforcement departments that have supported the criminals in this drug ring? There are large career family rings in the south end that the "sheriff" has been protecting for over a decade. The DOJ did the same last year also. Only arresting the addicted runners and none of the career criminals.

All local, state and federal funding should be cut to these social program organizations until they and their employees are audited by the IRS. Quit wasting our taxpayer dollars on these organizations that NEVER solve the problems they claim to have been created to address.

In 2025 drug and human trafficking including child sex trafficking will end in Death penalty.
