Summary
The Department of Justice just pulled off a massive nationwide crackdown called “Operation Spring Cleaning,” arresting over 1,100 people, seizing nearly 1,000 guns, and confiscating more than 2,700 pounds of illegal drugs. This three-month, multi-agency effort targeted gun and drug trafficking hotspots, including New Mexico, where three key suspects—Crisantos Garcia, Pete Kimbell, and Lucas Maldonado—were arrested. FBI Director Kash Patel called it a major win in dismantling criminal networks and reducing violent crime, showcasing a unified federal, state, and local response to America’s most dangerous illegal trade.
