缉毒局缴获270万颗芬太尼药丸创本局纪录：五州同步收网、16人被捕
美国司法部长 Pamela Bondi 与缉毒局（DEA）领导层2025年5月6日共同宣布，缉毒局在新墨西哥州伯纳利洛县 Albuquerque 市的一处查缴中缴获270万颗芬太尼药丸，创下该局单次缴获芬太尼药丸数量的最高纪录。
这次收网是历时数月的调查的收官一幕。2025年4月最后一周，缉毒局 Albuquerque 地区办公室的探员在该市缴获这批药丸；整个行动在多个州同步执行搜查令，共逮捕16人，并缴获毒品、现金、枪支与豪华车辆。缉毒局称，全部查缴合计超过300万颗芬太尼药丸与11.5公斤芬太尼粉末，仅270万颗这一批就相当于约150万个潜在致死剂量被挡在街头之外。
Albuquerque 一地缴获约61万美元现金、49支枪支（其中部分装有转换开关、部分为无序列号的「幽灵枪」）、396公斤芬太尼药丸、11.5公斤芬太尼粉末、1.5公斤可卡因、3.5公斤海洛因与7磅冰毒，另有两辆车估值约14万美元。俄勒冈州 Salem 查获现金逾280万美元与约5万美元珠宝；犹他州 Layton 查获约78万美元现金；亚利桑那州 Phoenix 查获约39万美元现金、72磅冰毒与13公斤芬太尼药丸；内华达州 Las Vegas 查获逾9.3万美元现金与2.7公斤可卡因。
检方指，36岁的 Heriberto Salazar Amaya 是这个贩毒组织的头目。他与另外13人被控共谋分销芬太尼，其中7人还另被控分销芬太尼罪名；Salazar Amaya 本人另面临三项移民相关指控：被遣返后非法再入境、雇用无证外国人，以及共谋窝藏无证外国人。另有3人以刑事诉状被起诉，包括被指在 Santa Fe 的藏毒屋存有约11万颗药丸的 Phillip Lovato、在寓所被查获约36.5万颗药丸与24支枪支的 Roberta Herrera，以及被指以一间仓储单元存放约165.5公斤芬太尼药丸的 Misael Lopez Rubio。
Bondi 说：「这次由缉毒局主导的历史性缴获，是对锡纳罗亚集团的一次重击，把毒药挡在了我们的街道之外。」缉毒局代理局长 Robert Murphy 说，这批药丸背后是「被挫败的破坏性犯罪行为与被挽救的美国生命」。新墨西哥州联邦检察官 Ryan Ellison 表示，这次行动拆除了美国历史上最大、最危险的芬太尼贩运组织之一。
本案由缉毒局 El Paso 分局主导调查，国税局刑事调查局协助，新墨西哥州联邦检察官办公室负责起诉，并获俄勒冈、亚利桑那与犹他三州联邦检察官办公室协助；案件属司法部「夺回美国行动」的一部分。起诉书与刑事诉状仅为指控，全部被告在法庭证明有罪之前均推定无罪。（来源：美国缉毒局）

DEA Seizes a Record 2.7 Million Fentanyl Pills in Albuquerque: 16 Arrested Across Five States
Attorney General Pamela Bondi joined the leadership of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on May 6, 2025, to announce that DEA agents in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, had seized 2.7 million fentanyl pills, the single largest seizure of fentanyl pills in the agency's history.
The seizure capped a monthslong investigation. During an enforcement operation in the last week of April 2025, agents from the DEA's Albuquerque District Office seized the pills in the state's largest city; coordinated search warrants were executed across multiple states, 16 individuals were arrested, and drugs, cash, firearms and luxury vehicles were seized as federal authorities dismantled what they called one of the largest and most dangerous drug trafficking organizations in U.S. history. In total, the DEA seized more than three million fentanyl pills and 11.5 kilograms of fentanyl powder, and the agency said the 2.7 million pills alone equated to nearly 1.5 million potentially deadly doses taken out of circulation.
In Albuquerque alone, agents seized about $610,000 in cash, 49 firearms (some fitted with switches and some ghost guns), 396 kilograms of fentanyl pills, 11.5 kilograms of fentanyl powder, 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, 3.5 kilograms of heroin and seven pounds of methamphetamine, along with two vehicles valued at about $140,000. In Salem, Oregon, agents seized more than $2.8 million in cash and about $50,000 in jewelry; in Layton, Utah, about $780,000 in cash; in Phoenix, Arizona, about $390,000 in cash, 72 pounds of methamphetamine and 13 kilograms of fentanyl pills; and in Las Vegas, Nevada, more than $93,000 in cash and 2.7 kilograms of cocaine.
Prosecutors say Heriberto Salazar Amaya, 36, led the trafficking organization. He and 13 others are charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, seven defendants face additional fentanyl distribution charges, and Salazar Amaya faces three additional immigration-related charges: illegal reentry after deportation, hiring an unauthorized alien, and conspiracy to harbor unauthorized aliens. Three more people were charged by criminal complaint, including Phillip Lovato, accused of keeping about 110,000 pills at a Santa Fe stash house; Roberta Herrera, from whose apartment agents seized about 365,000 pills and 24 firearms; and Misael Lopez Rubio, accused of storing about 165.5 kilograms of fentanyl pills in a rented storage unit.
"This historic drug seizure, led by the DEA, is a significant blow against the Sinaloa Cartel that removes poison from our streets and protects American citizens from the scourge of fentanyl," Bondi said. DEA Acting Administrator Robert Murphy said that behind the three million pills seized were "destructive criminal acts thwarted, and American lives saved." U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison for the District of New Mexico said the operation dismantled one of the largest and most dangerous fentanyl trafficking organizations in U.S. history.
The DEA's El Paso Division led the investigation with assistance from IRS Criminal Investigation, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Mexico is prosecuting the case with assistance from the U.S. Attorneys' Offices in Oregon, Arizona and Utah. The case is part of the Justice Department's Operation Take Back America. An indictment or criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
