The most recent DEA report for 2025 confirms several facts about the drug cartels that traffic vast amounts of drugs (from cocaine to fentanyl) into the United States. For a very long time now, the DEA has made the accurate assessment that most of the drugs entering the United States come from the Andes, Central America, and Mexico. The United States government has targeted Tren de Aragua and Guerrero, offering a USD 12 million reward for his arrest. In April 2025, the United States increased its reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros from USD 25 million to 50 million.
