More than 300 people have been arrested in a series of drug raids targeting a Mexican drug cartel operating in the US, American officials have said.

The two-day operation, which involved thousands of police officers in 14 US states, is the latest aimed at the cartel known as La Familia.

It was part of Project Coronado, which has led to almost 1,200 arrests over four years, officials said.

Well this is a good news day a very big drug bust that will help cull drugs get on to the american streets

Nice! Drug-free society is the need of the day but I hope as much care and foresight would be exrcised with other related issues like legal drug administration.

As long as there is a demand by drug users, the drugs will be on the street.

I have two kids, and I like a piece of mind, knowing that someone will not push drugs in their face, thanking to all officers taking part in these raids. We thank you all of you officers for risking your life in trying to clean our streets. God bless you all.
