According to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle, Honduran migrants are driving San Franciso's drug market with aid from Mexican cartels.

The report puts the blame on San Francisco's lax immigration and crime policies for providing a safe haven to Honduran migrants who are working on the front lines of the drug menace( including Fentanyl) in the city.

According to the report, the Honduran migrants operate open-air markets in these areas through their meticulous planning and big numbers.

The migrants often commute to their street-dealing posts via public transportation and “conduct business like they’re going to a job,” said San Francisco Mayor London Breed to San Franciso Chronicle.

The report highlights that many of the drug dealers hail from Siria Valley in Honduras, which is about 80 miles north of Hondura's capital city Tegucigalpa. A drug dealer highlighted why more like him choose San Francisco for their nefarious activities.

“[I]n San Francisco, it’s like you’re here in Honduras. The law, because they don’t deport, that’s the problem … Many look for San Francisco because it’s a sanctuary city. You go to jail and you come out,” said the anonymous dealer.
