(NewsNation) — A DEA agent sounded the alarm at a news conference this week, warning that Mexican cartels and their drugs are in Maryland.
The notice from Jarod Forget, the DEA special agent in charge of the Washington division office, came as Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announced the indictments of six people on allegations they trafficked large amounts of cocaine from Houston, Texas, to Baltimore County.
“Let me be clear, the Mexican cartels are here and their drugs are here in Maryland. They do not care about the wellbeing of our citizens, and they are flooding and poisoning our neighborhoods with drugs like cocaine, meth, heroine, and especially, fake pills laced with fentanyl,” Forget said at the news conference.
In the latest major bust against Latrava Kinney, Lawrence Nauls and Jayson Rhodes of Houston, the DEA seized 15 kilograms of cocaine, 400 grams of cocaine, 10 guns and more than $493,000.
Investigators believe Kinney, Nauls and Rhodes were serving as couriers for a national drug trafficking organization from as early as July 2022 through Oct. 2022 to transport cocaine from Texas to Maryland, where they say local dealers like Medford Smith, Sherrod Stokes and Maurice Farmer would take the drugs to stash locations to break it down for street distribution.
“As most of you know, cocaine is not manufactured in the United States. It is grown and manufactured in South America and transported by Mexican cartels to all four corners of our country,” Forget said, later adding, “The nexus between cartels and violent crime is unfortunately ever-so prevalent.”
Imagine fentanyl as a tool for terrorism. It can be
made to show up in almost anything we eat or drink,
from a water source to a wedding cake.
It would be much easier to stop much of it at the source which is our open southern border.
Maybe there’s a kickback scheme between the cartels and Biden’s White House.
They are in the White House & Congress too !!!!!! Woooooo
Called Democrats !!!!
They are just Mules.
The Chinese are manufacturing all this poison for export. Everyone worried about Balloons. It’s a NEW COLD WAR. The same factories that make doggie chew toys are selling us dildos LOL and we are their largest market.

They are a bunch of intelligent people. They have been in MD for years with their DRUGS. They are in MD and DC next to their EAST COAST headquarters. It is called the DC CONNECTION. MD is their distribution center for their drugs. IT IS CALLED the I95 corridor better known as the BALTIMORE DC CONNECTION. The gateway to the EAST COAST NORTH and SOUTH.
