Sourcing cocaine and methamphetamine from the Mexican Sinaloa cartel led by notorious imprisoned leader Juan “El Chapo” Guzman for buyers on America’s Midwestern plains and prairies, a Minnesota woman has pleaded guilty in federal court in Fargo, North Dakota, this week to her role in the sprawling conspiracy involving dozens of Minnesotans.

Deanna Gerads, of Freeport, is the latest person to change her plea in a federal indictment first brought in 2022 against a network of alleged drug traffickers who came under surveillance as the Justice Department pursued Operation Unfinished Business II, according to a Justice Department news release. The program is aimed at taking down international drug traffickers who push meth, cocaine and fentanyl specifically.

Gerads was on the run in Mexico for more than a year before she was extradited to Texas and arrested, court records show. In a third superseding indictment filed in November 2022, prosecutors charged her and 11 others with possession and intent to distribute more than 500 grams of methamphetamines, over 5 kilograms — or more than 11 pounds — of cocaine and over 400 grams of fentanyl.
