Drug seizures of fentanyl, meth see uptick along southwest border: DEA
Fox News
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is seeing a record number of seizures of meth and fentanyl along the southwest border. A special agent with the San Antonio District says a big reason for the uptick in drugs crossing the border is the migrant surge.
Thousands of people cross between the U.S. and Mexico daily at the Pharr International Bridge in Texas.
It's also where Customs and Border Protection seized $1.2 million worth of cocaine and fentanyl on Oct. 1. That's hardly a dent in the quantity of drugs making their way across the border through Texas and eventually to cities and states nationwide.
"Just the amount of fentanyl just apprehended by the Texas Department of Public Safety just this year is more than enough to kill every man, woman and child in the states of Texas, California and New York," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
