Episode 95: The DEA's National Drug Threat Assessment 2024

Cartels, Conspiracies, and Camarena

Last week, the DEA presented its annual National Drug Threat Assessment (NDTA). In this Episode, I discuss some of the more significant observations in the NDTA.

Specifically, I look at the NDTA's description of the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels, including their leadership structures, drug trafficking patterns, international presences, and other illegal activities.

I also present the NDTA's findings on the illegal drug threats in the United States, identified by seizures and overdose deaths.
