According to the DEA Detroit Field Division, agents seized large amounts of illegal drugs throughout 2025, including 147 kilograms of fentanyl, 432 kilograms of counterfeit pills, 1,658 kilograms of cocaine, and 1,054 kilograms of methamphetamine.
Authorities also reported confiscating 324 firearms and more than $17 million in cash and assets. A total of 950 arrests were made as part of these enforcement efforts.
“Every kilogram of fentanyl we seize represents lives saved,” said Joseph O.
