AND Central intelligence agency (CIA) conducts supervisory flights with drones over Mexico in partnership with the US neighbor in the south, to collect intelligence information on Fentanil Cartel and Laboratory Laboratory, according to a high US official.
The bidet administration approved the use of drones of the MQ9 Reaper, which the officer said they were not armed and “not deadly” to focus on the location of fental laboratories and cartels.
President Donald Trump’s administration continued a program that is being coordinated with the Mexican government.
Intelligence is shared with Mexican governmentwhich in turn has the authority to act on the exclusion of illegal activities associated with cartels and laboratories.

“This is not Pakistan’s model,” a senior American official of Fox News told. “This is done in partnership with the Mexican government.”
Felipe de Jesus Gallo, head of the Mexico Criminal Investigation Agency, said last year that since the 1990s “Mexico was a champion of methampetamine production and now Fentanil.”
Made a statement as he spoke at the American-Mexican conference on synthetic drugs in Mexico City.

Experts agree that cartels in Mexico use prekursor chemicals from China And India to make a synthetic opioid and smuggle it to the United States, where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually.
Although fentanil in Mexico is not abused, the dependence on methamphetamine is common.
Gallo said that Mexican cartels They have launched industrial production of metha in many countries across the country and are now exporting a drug around the world.
“Believe me, the production of methamphetamine has become industrialized, it is no longer just in the mountains,” Gallo said. “Now we expect to see the (medicines) of the laboratory not only in the mountains of Sinalo and Sonora, but also in Hidalgo, Puebla, and also in Jalisco.”

He apparently referred to thousands of drugs for drugs discovered in previous years in the hills and scissors around Culiacan, the capital of the northern state of Sinalo. This secret, rural production was often naked bones, improvised laboratories covered with branches of trees and ceradolins.
The target trade has become so lucrative and so sophisticated that Mexican meta is exported so far from Hong Kong or Australia, and cartels have found ways to avoid detecting drugs from drugs.
The production of fentania is also huge, although it is a more powerful cure, the volume is smaller.
The soldiers seized more than half a million fental pills in Culiacan in 2023, in what the army at the time described as the largest synthetic drug laboratory to this day.
The soldiers found nearly 630,000 tablets that seemed to contain fentanil, the army said. They also reported that he seized 282 pounds of pink powder and about 220 pounds of suspicious methamphetamine.
