A nationwide sweep by federal authorities resulted in 750 arrests, the seizure of $59 million in drug money and an estimated 23 tons of narcotics. The investigation, known as Operation Xcellerator, was a 21-month operation aimed at cracking down on the cartel's U.S. distribution networks.
As a part of the operation, authorities made arrests in San Diego's Imperial County resulting in the seizure of almost $10 million dollars. Local prosecutors said the operation dismantled six separate organized crime cells that were bringing in tons of illegal drugs across the U.S./Mexico border. Six suspected drug dealers now face terms of 20 years-to-life, if convicted.
