Dallas Police, ATF Seize Fentanyl, Cocaine, Firearms in Major Raids

Authorities in Juárez, Mexico, seized over 61 pounds of fentanyl pills and a small amount of tusi, a synthetic party drug known as "pink cocaine," which often contains dangerous substances like ketamine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. Meanwhile, Dallas police and the ATF conducted multiple raids in 2025 targeting random gunfire investigations, resulting in the confiscation of nearly a kilogram of fentanyl, over 100 grams of cocaine, nine firearms, and several illegal machine gun conversion devices. These operations led to multiple arrests, including Juan David Hernandez, charged with manufacturing and delivery of controlled substances and illegal firearm possession, and Carlos Garcia, arrested on outstanding warrants. A second Dallas raid in April focused on firearms illegally modified with machine gun devices, with two additional arrests for possession of prohibited weapons. The coordinated efforts involved several Dallas Police units and federal agents, highlighting ongoing challenges with the intersection of illegal drugs and weapon modifications in urban areas. Both the Mexican and U.S. law enforcement actions underscore intensified efforts to curb drug trafficking and gun violence in their respective regions.
