From DEA’s 2024 National Drug Threat Assessment (NDTA) released today

BREAKING—

A very-much-publicized 'ban' by The Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel in 2023 vs the production of fentanyl in Mexico was likely a PR stunt or an attempt to punish its rivals, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says.
