WASHINGTON – The Justice Department outlined a far-flung strike against the violent Mexican Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, announcing the Wednesday arrests of 250 cartel operatives and leaders whose drug trafficking organization has flooded the U.S. with cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana, officials said.
The Drug Enforcement Administration operation, dubbed Project Python, is part of a six-month campaign against the cartel known as CJNG that has netted a total of 750 arrests and seizures of $20 million.
“Project Python marks the most comprehensive action to date ... to disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately destroy CJNG,” Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski said Wednesday, casting the cartel as "one of the highest-priority, transnational organized crime threats we face. , , "
