DEA Official Criticizes Colorados Sanctuary Laws: A Chilling Effect on Fighting Drug Cartels A top DEA official in Colorado, David Olesky, warns that the states sanctuary laws are hindering efforts to combat drug cartels. Olesky points to rules that prevent local police from sharing information with federal immigration agents, making it harder to track cartel members. Denvers drug activity is surging, while the rest of the country sees declines. Olesky blames a long-standing drug culture, fueled by Mexican cartels like Sinaloa and Jalisco, and a softer stance on crime and illegal immigration in Colorado. Cartel members exploit the states sanctuary status, knowing state arrests lead to quick releases. Local cops are hesitant to share details due to fear of lawsuits and new restrictions. Despite these challenges, federal agents continue to make significant busts. In October alone, they seized over one million fentanyl pills and more than five hundred thousand dollars in cash across four states. Olesky emphasizes that this is not a political issue, but a ground-level reality affecting community safety. Checkout Solipillow.com
