A Mexican woman, Iris Adrianna Amador García, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in the United States for leading a drug distribution network that operated across multiple states. According to U.S. authorities, she was responsible for distributing large quantities of methamphetamine, hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills, and heroin.
Court documents indicate that Amador García, who was living in the U.S. Without legal immigration status, he also took part in money laundering activities connected to the drug trafficking operation. Authorities said the organization shipped drugs to destinations as far away as New York, several southeastern U.S. states, and even Fiji.
The case became more serious after a major drug shipment was seized during a traffic stop. Prosecutors alleged that Amador García later devised a plan to identify and kill the police officer involved in the seizure. She was also found to have possessed firearms in connection with her criminal activities.
The sentence was announced by U.S. authorities on June 2, 2026, as part of ongoing efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking and the distribution of other synthetic drugs.
