Background:

There is evidence that trafficking in narcotics and dangerous drugs exists in Laredo, and surrounding areas and that such illegal activity has a substantial and detrimental effect on the health and welfare of the community. The DEA Task Force will collaborate between state and local law enforcement agencies by conducting undercover operations lead by DEA Task Force participants. The objective is to disrupt the illicit drug traffic in Laredo and surrounding areas by immobilizing targeted violators and trafficking organizations; therefore minimizing the harmful effects of illegal drugs and organized crime.
