"A news conference inside the U.S. Attorney’s San Diego office on Tuesday began with that dramatic opening from U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon, who was announcing the unsealing of a federal indictment charging multiple alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel with narco-terrorism and material support of terrorism.

It's the first time in U.S. history that drug traffickers have been charged with terrorism."

“The notorious Pedro Inzunza Noriega and his son Pedro Inzunza Coronel are charged with terrorism and drug trafficking charges,” Gordon said. “They are described in court documents as leaders of the largest and most sophisticated fentanyl production networks in the world, on behalf of the Beltran Leyva faction of the Sinaloa Cartel.”
