Federal agents busted a drug trafficking operation run by the Alvarez family from California, who shipped cocaine and heroin to distributors in Tampa. A grand jury indicted 10 people, mostly siblings and relatives, for their roles in the ring that moved drugs across the country. The case, dubbed Operation Family Ties, highlights how family networks fuel large-scale drug distribution and shows law enforcement's focus on dismantling them.
