️🇺🇸🇪🇨 The National Police of Ecuador, backed by US Southern Command troops and the DEA, carried out raids throughout Manavi, Goiás, Los Rios and El Oro, dismantling a network working directly for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and arresting more than 30 people.

The operation, which involved more than 320 Ecuadorian police and 50 U.S. Southern Command soldiers, followed an eight-month investigation as Interior Secretary John Reimberg said drug seizures during 2026 cost trafficking organizations about $322 million.
