Operation Red Card Sweeps Seattle | Seattle News

Federal agents and local cops just pulled off a massive crackdown called “Operation Red Card” during the World Cup in Seattle, arresting 17 violent offenders and seizing 12 guns—some modified to fire automatically. Targeting repeat offenders known to disrupt communities, the multi-agency sweep aimed to keep the city safe as hundreds of thousands of fans flooded in. Ten cases already filed with prosecutors, mostly for firearm charges, with many suspects still locked up or under strict home monitoring. Meanwhile, the DEA seized nearly 2.7 million lethal doses of fentanyl in a separate but related operation. Even after the tournament ends, authorities vow to keep up these coordinated efforts to protect the Puget Sound region.
