Border Patrol agents seized enough fentanyl to kill 100 million people so far this fiscal year, the chief of the agency said this week after a number of seizures.
"That's enough to kill 100 million people," he said. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
Ortiz made the remarks in announcing that agents in the Yuma Sector in Arizona had encountered an illegal migrant carrying 93 lbs worth of the narcotic. Last week, he had noted the dramatic increase in seizures, saying that agents had caught enough fentanyl to kill over 60 million people just in January.

"In the month of January alone, agents seized 55 firearms [and] over 6,800 lbs of narcotics, which included enough fentanyl to kill over 60 million people," Ortiz said.
