FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, is calling on President Biden to declare fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction.
The drug, which can be fatal in small amounts, is primarily trafficked via the southern border. More than 10,586 lbs of fentanyl were seized at the southern border in FY 2021 by Customs and Border Protection (CBP), up significantly from the 4,558 lbs in FY 2020 and 2,633 in FY 2019. Most of the amount seized is caught at ports of entry.
