Operation Panama Express

Operation Panama Express was an effort by U.S. authorities to combat drug trafficking, specifically targeting drug cartels involved in transporting illegal substances from Mexico into the United States. The operation involved coordinated efforts between federal agencies to detect, intercept, and dismantle smuggling networks, often using intelligence sharing, surveillance, and law enforcement actions. It aimed to reduce the flow of illegal drugs, like cocaine and methamphetamine, by disrupting criminal operations at borders and transit routes. Overall, it was part of broader efforts to combat drug crime and improve border security.
