In July, Governor Greg Abbott announced a more than 1,000% increase in fentanyl since 2020. If you follow the social feeds of the Port Directors or reporters covering the border, it’s hard to miss this crisis. Last year 100,000 citizens died of opioid overdoses, and every state is hurting from this crisis.
On Thursday, a “2-year-old was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after he ingested a fentanyl pill he found while playing at a Tacoma park” in Washington. CBP seized multiple pills of “fentanyl, enough to kill 50,200 people,” in Louisville, Kentucky.
The CBP found over 90,000 Fentanyl pills in Arizona and other drugs in a vehicle’s spare tire earlier Tuesday.
Later the same day, Port Director Michael W. Humphries of the Port of Nogales, Arizona, Tweeted that “CBP Officers at the Nogales Port of Entry seized more than 391,000 Fentanyl pills.”
Look what they found last week.
