FBI & ICE RAID Somali Police Chief Mansion — $1.5B Bribes, 21 Dirty Cops Arrested! nt
The target was a lavish $12 million waterfront mansion allegedly used by Carlos “El Rey” Mendoza, a suspected high-ranking associate of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
Intelligence gathered over months suggested the property was being used as a storage and distribution hub for large quantities of drugs entering South Florida.
DEA Special Agent Victor Reyes stood among the tactical team moments before entry, listening carefully through his earpiece for the final signal.
Operations like this were not unusual.
Federal agents expected to find drugs, cash, and possibly weapons—another link in the chain of cartel logistics that stretched from Mexico into American cities.
