The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is a federal law enforcement agency that works to reduce the supply of illegal drugs in the United States. DEA activity includes conducting RAIDS on suspected drug traffickers and dealers. The term 'RAID' is an acronym for 'Rapid Arrest and Immediate Detention, ' and 'RAIDS' stands for 'Regional and International Action, Detection, and Suppression.' Both terms refer to the DEA's efforts to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking operations.
