According to ABC 7, fentanyl contributes to more than two-thirds of overdose deaths.
In May 2023, American Faith reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) fentanyl seizures surged by 14% in April compared to March and have risen by over 400% since fiscal year 2019.
In the first seven months of fiscal year 2023, CBP seized over 17,000 pounds of fentanyl, significantly surpassing the 6,600 pounds seized from October 2021 through April 2022.
Reporting from The Gateway Pundit:
In fiscal year 2023, 900,000 illegal aliens were released into the U.S. by the Border Patrol. In September, the numbers were over 155,000 illegals. We can’t blame the Border Patrol because the corrupt and wicked Biden regime is forcing their hand. This shows just how much the Biden Regime hates America.
