@DEALOSANGELES Special Agent in Charge David Olesky talks with @marthamaccallum about Thursday’s @HSTaskForce Operation aimed at making Los Angeles safer. "These traffickers did not hide in the shadows. They operated in plain sight. They bet on apathy. Today, that bet failed."

#SkidRow drug enforcement operation. DEA and law enforcement partners executed ‘Operation Save Skid Row.’ David Olesky, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA L.A. Division, said, “The criminals we arrested today are not low-level dealers. They operated in plain sight. They used tents, tarps, and makeshift structures as storefronts - as drug distribution centers - in the middle of one of the busiest neighborhoods in America. They bet if they blended into the suffering around them, law enforcement would drive by, the public would look away, and they would go unnoticed. They bet on our apathy. Today, that bet failed.” #HSTF @HSTaskForce @deahq @TheJusticeDept @DEATerryCole @USAO_LosAngeles @LAPDHQ @FBILosAngeles @LosAngelesATF @LADAOffice @IRS_CI @LASDHQ #HIDTA video of vehicles seized, handcuffed suspects, jewelry, weapon seized.

Homeland Security Task Force: A former Alaska defense attorney was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for drug trafficking. Justin Facey, 46, bragged about being an attorney for the cartel as he trafficked drugs and exploited vulnerable women. Facey facilitated a drug trafficking organization run by a California prisoner, Heraclio Sanchez-Rodriguez. Over 60 defendants have been charged in connection with the Sanchez-Rodriguez drug trafficking organization. #HSTF #FentanylFreeAmerica
