After that deal was exposed, they went after El Chapo.
While marijuana is being gradually legalized, the cartels are moving toward pushing more heroin into the United States.

Exactly! This is why the DEA went after prescription opioids, painkillers, pill mills, etc. They presented a threat to the black market opioids, addicts were going to their doctor, or the ER to get their fix (NOT the corner drug dealer).
This was a blatant attempt by a US law enforcement agency, to create laws that directly benefit foreign criminal organizations.
