Top Right News PRESIDENT TRUMP UNLEASHED ICE THIS WEEK,
DEPLOYING A HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS (HSI) UNIT, ALONG WITH THE
DEA TO ARREST DOZENS OF CONVENIENCE STORE OWNERS ACROSS FOUR STATES.
60 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED, 35 OF THEM PREVIOUSLY INDICTED BY A FEDERAL GRAND
JURY ON CONSPIRACY CHARGES FOR MONEY LAUNDERING, DISTRIBUTING CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCES AND TRAFFICKING IN CONTRABAND CIGARETTES. THE AP CARRIED THIS
STORY:
The suspects conspired for more than 2 years to buy contraband
cigarettes in St. Louis, a low tax market, while transporting and
distributing them in Chicago, Illinois, and New Jersey, which are high tax
markets. The store owners are accused of using several convenience stores
that they operated to create the appearance of legal cigarette purchases.
Illegal profits form the contraband cigarette sales were laundered through
accounts associated with the stores, and used to manufacture and
distribute
illegal controlled substances. In addition the stores were selling a
synthetic drug, K-2. Authorities said the store owners manufactured the
synthetic drugs themselves usingimported chemicals from China.
“Synthetic drugs that are sold as substitutes for cocaine and
methamphetamine, are neither legal nor safe,” said James P. Shroba,
Special Agent in Charge of the DEA St. Louis Division. If convicted, the
defendants face a maximum of five to 20 years in prison and a $1 million
dollar fine.

illegals,which should be viewed as making our country safe.
