Viral posts are circulating that the FBI arrested 78 paramedics in connection with a cartel drug scheme allegedly disguised as ambulance services.

However, there are no confirmed reports from the FBI, DOJ, or major news outlets verifying mass arrests of that scale tied to ambulance companies. ⚠️ An operation involving dozens of medical professionals across jurisdictions would typically be accompanied by official press releases and widespread national coverage.

While authorities do investigate drug trafficking networks — and isolated cases involving abuse of services have occurred in the past — the specific claim of 78 paramedics arrested in a coordinated cartel scheme remains unverified. 🔎

As always, it’s important to rely on confirmed sources rather than viral headlines.
