Don't wait until it hits your family, we do this for YOUR CHILD-YOUR LOVED ONE because they ALL MATTER! The deadliest ware America never declared is fought in silence, with illicit fentanyl as its weapon. One that has claimed more lives on our own soil than any physical war in our history. This was without battlefields, where the enemy is silent, synthetic and deadly-illicit fentanyl crossing our boarders has become the invisible weapon of mass destruction claiming many lives every day. This silent war is not only fought at our boarder-it is waged in living rooms across America, where stigma chains families to silence while fentanyl steals their loves ones.

Villa Park Man Accused of Selling Methamphetamine to Undercover Officer October 29, 2026
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Elmhurst Chief of Police Michael McLean announced today that a Villa Park man has been charged with selling methamphetamine to an undercover police officer on three separate occasions. Peter Thomas, 35 (d.o.b. 6/21/1991) of the 500 block of E. Park Boulevard, appeared in First Appearance Court this morning where the Court denied the State’s motion to detain him pre-trial. Thomas is charged with three counts of Delivery of Methamphetamine (one Class 1 Felony and two Class 2 Felonies), one count of Possession with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine (Class X Felony) one count of Misdemeanor Resisting a Police officer and one count of Misdemeanor Unlawful Possession of Cannabis by a Driver. Following his court appearance, Thomas was released with conditions including that he does not possess or consume alcohol, cannabis or any controlled substances other than medically prescribed and submit to testing.

“Drug dealers care nothing for their victims, society or the rule of law,” Berlin said. “They profit on the suffering and heartbreak of others and care only about lining their pockets at society’s expense. Drug dealing can fuel violence, destroy communities and leave a trail of broken families in its wake. I commend the Elmhurst Police Department for their outstanding, proactive efforts not only on this case but for their continued commitment to ridding our streets of those who sell illegal drugs. I also thank the Villa Park and Chicago Police Departments for their partnership on this case as well as Assistant State’s Attorney Andrew Poncer for his efforts in securing charges against Mr. Thomas.”

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is closely monitoring the emerging threats of novel synthetic opioids. Illicit drugs have always been dangerous. The emergence of potent synthetic opioids, like cychlorphine, is especially concerning. Drug trafficking organizations frequently modify chemical formulas of known scheduled substances to make their products more potent, more addictive, and more profitable.

In July 2026, DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule cychlorphine as a Schedule I substance, which took effect on August 27, 2026. The temporary scheduling order lasts through August 27, 2028.

Cychlorphine cannot be detected by fentanyl test strips. Naloxone can reverse opioid-related overdoses but, given the potency of cychlorphine, multiple doses may be required. If you suspect someone is experiencing a drug overdose / poisoning, always call emergency services immediately.

Please share this DEA fact sheet with the audiences and communities you serve.

The operation includes arrest warrants for more than two dozen people, 21 of whom were in custody Thursday morning. In a news release later Thursday, the Department of Justice said 23 suspected drug dealers had been arrested.

The operation targeted street-level dealers and suppliers who sell drugs to people on Skid Row and other areas and follows a more than three-month investigation, authorities said.

Some of the drug dealers were operating out of tents and cars, according to the DEA. They dressed like members of Skid Row's homeless population to blend in, the DOJ said.

"You look at these tents, and some of these are folks' homes where they live, sadly, but hidden among these folks are the people who are taking advantage of them," said David Olesky, special agent in charge of the DEA Los Angeles Field Division. "Today, those traffickers are going to be held accountable for their actions."

The main drugs targeted were fentanyl and P*P. He**in, fi****ms and money also were seized.

Main Street Crips and other criminal gangs were involved in drug distribution operations that have continued for years, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said. Some of the busts extended to Simi Valley in Ventura County as well as San Bernardino County. Those arrested included residents of Los Angeles, West Covina, Studio City and Watts.

Dropping in for a chat and to see our kiddos. I will say everyone we were with didn’t rush any conversation.
Looking back at everything, they started bringing the families together for the Summits.
I’m grateful for the connections and the families we’ve met along the way.

Yesterday, I had the profound honor of standing alongside our Angel families in Washington DC. As our children were formally acknowledged during the national day of remembrance for murder victims with Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter. Their participation signaled that our children’s lives, stories, and legacies are being recognized at the highest levels of our justice system.
for years, many of us have been vocal, persistent, and unwavering in our fight to ensure our children are not forgotten. Walking into a room and seeing Johns picture included among those being honored is a feeling I can hardly put into words. It’s a moment of validation, heartbreak, and healing all at once. It reminded us that our advocacy matters, our voices matter and our children and their stories matter.
This recognition is not just symbolic. It’s a step towards justice, awareness, and change. behind all the statistics is a child, a family, and a community forever changed. I am deeply grateful to every Angel family who continues to stand together, speak out, and push forward even when the weight feels unbearable. We will continue to honor our children, uplift, one another, and fight for a world where no family has to endure what we have endured. Yesterday was a powerful reminder that our angels are seen, remembered, and loved.
