ICE Arrests Illegal Migrants with Drug Convictions

This extensive sweep targeted individuals with a history of endangering communities through illicit drug activities.
Record Cocaine Seizure in Sweden
Swedish customs authorities have made one of the country’s largest-ever cocaine confiscations, seizing approximately 1.4 tons of the substance at Nynashamn harbor, just south of Stockholm. Following a tip-off, customs officials intercepted a container containing the massive cocaine haul, which was destined for the European market. The port of Nynashamn serves as a transit point for drug shipments, and Sweden has witnessed a significant surge in cocaine trafficking in recent years.
Six individuals have been apprehended and are being investigated for their alleged involvement in the smuggling operation. The unprecedented haul has sent shockwaves through the Swedish narcotics scene. In 2022, Swedish customs seized a record 1,812 pounds of cocaine, demonstrating the escalating flow of illegal drugs into the country.
