At 4:12 a.m., federal agents from ICE, the FBI, and the DEA swept through quiet Minneapolis neighborhoods, uncovering what appeared to be ordinary apartments and storefronts—but were in fact key logistics centers for the Sinaloa and CJNG cartels. Authorities seized millions of fentanyl doses, $12 million in cash, encrypted financial ledgers, and industrial-scale equipment. More than 60 financial relay points were traced, exposing a sophisticated network of shell companies and nonprofit fronts used to launder money and move narcotics. The operation ties into over 5,000 arrests nationwide, highlighting how modern cartel networks conceal their activities within everyday businesses—and warning that the evolving “North Hub” may not be fully dismantled.
