"President Dilma Rousseff said Monday that the government had made strides in stemming the flow of drugs, arms and other contraband through Brazil’s long and porous border. During the past year and a half, 360 tons of drugs, 2,200 guns, 280,000 rounds of ammunition and twenty tons of explosives have been seized, she said ... Brazil’s Plano Estratégico de Fronteiras (Strategic Border Plan) consists of two major operations, costing some R$8 billion and representing an overhaul in policy: Operation Ágata, led by the Ministry of Defense and mobilizing the Armed Forces, and Operation Sentinel, under which the Ministry of Justice coordinates the Federal Police, the Federal Highway Police and the National Security Force."
