The Vault
Every foreign significant seizure the brief has flagged, as a running ledger — sortable and filterable. Quantities are shown as reported per item; kilos, pills, and dollars can't be honestly summed, so the tallies count seizures, not volume. Significant arrests are logged too and reviewed in Interdicta; this ledger lists seizures.
Interdicta — the monthly review of these interdictions (commodity shifts, corridors, methods) — publishes here as issues accrue.
