Sinaloa Cartel Route Busted at Michigan Port — 3.8 Tons Seized, $2.3M Cash, Port Director Named

Before dawn, federal agents from ICE, FBI, and HSI launched a coordinated raid across neighborhoods and a major port facility in Michigan, uncovering a hidden cartel operation that had operated quietly for years.

The investigation exposed how illicit drugs were moved through legitimate infrastructure, how inspections were bypassed, and how insiders helped large shipments pass undetected. What began as a routine operation quickly revealed a much deeper network involving corruption, large-scale drug trafficking, and armed resistance during the raid.
