Frank Tarentino
Frank Tarentino is a prominent agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) who has played a significant role in high-profile cases against Mexican drug cartels. He recently gained media attention during the court proceedings of Rafael Caro Quintero, where he emphasized the DEA's commitment to seeking justice, particularly in relation to the murder of DEA agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena in the 1980s. Tarentino's statements reflect a broader shift in U.S. drug policy under the Trump administration, which has prioritized severe penalties for drug trafficking as a national security threat.
