Federal prosecutors say they've charged 32 people who sold drugs in a notorious San Francisco neighborhood as part of an international operation.
Chris Nielsen, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in San Francisco, said Wednesday that most of the dealers were Honduran nationals and part of an operation that stretched from
Mexico to Seattle.
At a press conference, U.S. Attorney David Anderson also announced the launch of a crackdown in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood, a roughly 50-block area where open drug use has been tolerated for years.
