BREAKING: ICE, FBI & DEA Storm Minneapolis in Pre-Dawn Strike — Hidden Sinaloa & CJNG Cartel Networks Exposed

In a massive operation that has rocked the city, federal agents from ICE, FBI, and DEA executed Operation Iron North in the early hours of the morning at 4:12 a.m. The target? A set of seemingly ordinary apartments and small businesses in Minneapolis, which, unbeknownst to locals, were harboring a sophisticated logistics hub for the notorious Sinaloa and CJNG cartels.

Inside these unassuming buildings, agents uncovered a hidden “North Hub”, a critical node in the cartels’ expansive operations. What they discovered was staggering: millions of lethal doses of fentanyl, $12 million in cash, and industrial-grade equipment used to produce and distribute illicit substances. The operation also unveiled over 60 financial relay points, linked to encrypted ledgers, as well as evidence showing that public funds and nonprofit reimbursements were being exploited to fund narcotics trafficking.

This strike has far-reaching implications. Federal authorities connected the operation to over 5,000 arrests nationwide, exposing how cartels hide behind shell companies and everyday neighborhoods to run their illicit businesses. The North Hub served as a central point for moving drugs, money, and resources to supply a vast network stretching across the U.S.

The breadth and sophistication of the operation raise alarms, with authorities warning that the cartel networks may extend far beyond Minneapolis, utilizing hidden infrastructures across the country. As investigations continue, federal agents are zeroing in on additional hubs and tracking down the key players who may still be operating under the radar.
