Feds Charge 28 in Raid on LA Skid Row Drug Network

US Politics12 days ago

Federal and local law enforcement agents executed 44 search warrants across Los Angeles County on Thursday to disrupt the sale of narcotics in the city's downtown area. The FBI, DEA and LAPD took 14 people into custody and announced that 28 individuals will face drug-related charges as part of "Operation Skid Row," which targeted the distribution of fentanyl and PCP by gang members operating within homeless encampments.

Authorities searched and tagged tents used as covers for criminal activity, seizing firearms, fentanyl and large sums of cash from the scene. Investigators identified the network as exploiting the city's approach to homeless populations, alleging that dealers specifically targeted victims on days when government assistance checks were distributed.
