## Resource

A Canadian drug kingpin named Guramrit Sidhu, dubbed “King,” just got a 20-year sentence for orchestrating a massive cross-border drug operation—moving nearly 2,000 pounds of meth and cocaine worth $15–17 million from the U.S. to Canada. He ran eight major shipments using semi-trucks, with drivers using coded phone numbers and serial numbers to identify themselves. Sidhu, the ringleader, had a sophisticated network that funneled drugs through Canada for further distribution. He’s the eighth person to plead guilty in this LA case, with associates already serving 2–9 years. Authorities from both countries collaborated to bring him down after his extradition in October 2024—marking a major blow to a major drug pipeline.
