One county in Washington is bringing fentanyl dealers to justice. Praise God!
From The Bellingham Herald. One of six people indicted for their role in a drug trafficking ring that distributed thousands of fentanyl pills across Whatcom County and the Lummi Nation was sentenced to federal prison last week.
Post a prayer for your state.
Ahbdurman Ahmed, 33, of Seattle, was sentenced to six years in prison Jan. 5 in the Western District of Washington in U.S. District Court. Ahmed pleaded guilty Oct. 16 to two counts of possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm. The court dismissed one count of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl as part of a plea agreement.
Ahmed is one of six people who were federally indicted by a grand jury in April for drug trafficking and weapons charges. Three of the six people are from Bellingham, according to federal court records.
At Ahmed’s sentencing, U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Jones said it was critical that he protect the public.
“I can’t imagine how you would feel if someone sold fentanyl to your children,” Jones said, according to a U.S. Department of Justice press release. …
“This defendant sold thousands of fentanyl pills in Whatcom County, pills that nearly killed him in an overdose. Even after that brush with death, he continued to sell — putting others at risk. Drug suppliers must be held accountable for their conduct, whether driven by addiction or by greed — in this case it appears it was both,” Acting U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman said in a prepared DOJ statement. …
The Lummi Nation has been hit particularly hard by fentanyl, and has taken numerous steps to address the crisis. …
Ahmed was one of six people who were part of a fentanyl distribution organization that was actively moving fentanyl from the Seattle area to redistributors in Whatcom County. The drug trafficking ring had been under investigation since late 2022, according to previous DOJ press releases and reporting in The Bellingham Herald. …
In mid-January 2023, law enforcement seized bags filled with 1,000 fentanyl pills from two of Ahmed’s customers.
Less than two months later in March, law enforcement seized 3,000 fentanyl pills from Ahmed himself. At the time of the drug seizure, a Glock handgun with an extended magazine was found in the car Ahmed was driving, according to the press release. Ahmed was prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior criminal convictions.
According to DOJ press releases and federal court records, the five others indicted as part of the fentanyl trafficking ring are:
▪ Matthew Anderson, 35, of Bellingham. …
▪ Daniel John Faix, 41, of Bellingham. …
▪ Natasha Parkhill, 38, of Bellingham. …
▪ Mohamed Abdirisak Mohamed, 35, of Seattle. …
▪ Robel Sisay Gebremedhin, also known as Robel Sisay Gebremedhui, 41, of Burien. …

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word of truth, the one we turn to for help and instruction. Galatians 5 reminds us vs. 1 For Freedom Christ has set us free, stand firm therefore and do not submit again to the Yoke of Slavery. Sorcery (pharmakeia) hinders us from obeying the truth and comes against the Spirit. This sorcery ensnares and entangles users in false worship of it. LORD teach us to keep step with Holy Spirit and not gratify the flesh. Break off and bind this spiritual deceiver. Close all sources of revenue, disrupt every delivery, make known every participant in this wickedness and tear down this stronghold in the spiritual realm. Let desire for the knowledge of Christ and the offering of Salvation invade these territories of darkness, the lives who need Your deliverance. Let the praises of God inhabit the hearts and minds of every user, every distributor, every manufacturer and every financier. Cause sorcery and it’s practices to become obsolete and despised to the Glory of God! Let Your kingdom COME. In Jesus’ mighty name! Amen.
