Justice Department Highlights DEA Drug Seizures for First Half of 2025, Successful Operations Over the Last Several Weeks
“Our DEA agents are doing historic work to keep our communities safe from deadly drugs like fentanyl and dismantle the cartels selling them.”
-Attorney General Pamela Bondi
“I want to remind all Americans to exercise extreme caution: a pill can kill.”
-Attorney General Pamela Bondi
“DEA is hitting the cartels where it hurts—with arrests, with seizures, and with relentless pressure. From meth labs in California to fentanyl pills disguised as pharmaceuticals seized at our border, these operations are saving American lives every single day.”
-DEA Acting Administrator Robert J. Murphy
“We are not slowing down. We are dismantling these networks piece by piece—and we won't stop until the last brick of their empire falls.”
-DEA Acting Administrator Robert J. Murphy
On July 15, 2025, Attorney General Pamela Bondi highlighted the great work of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to get illegal drugs off our streets and protect innocent Americans from addiction, overdose, and drug-related crime and violence. Since January 20, 2025, DEA has seized approximately 44 million fentanyl pills, 4,500 pounds of fentanyl powder, nearly 65,000 pounds of methamphetamine, more than 201,500 pounds of cocaine, and made over 2,105 fentanyl-related arrests.
