The Department of Justice seized an estimated 10 million fentanyl-laced pills, the attorney general and DEA administrator announced on Tuesday at DEA headquarters.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks at a news conference at Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters on September 27, 2022 in Arlington, Virginia. The Justice Department today released results of enforcement initiatives that they say has resulted in the seizure of the equivalent of 36 million lethal fentanyl doses from May 23 to September 8. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 50 times more potent than heroin, according to the Justice Department.

Senior DOJ officials pointed the finger squarely at the Mexican drug cartels for trafficking in the pills. Milgram said they are primarily seeing fentanyl laced pills disguised as regular drugs like OxyContin and Percocet. "The cartels are marketing rainbow colored pills. That are designed to look like candy or prescription drugs. They can come in either a tablet form, or in a block that looks like sidewalk chalk," the attorney general said. "These pills to contain fentanyl. We know from lamp testing that these rainbow fentanyl is just as dangerous and just as deadly as other forms of fentanyl."Milgram said the cartels don't care who dies. All they care about is making money, she said.

Close the damn border,,,,,,,,, and all those Americans would still be Alive !

Consequences of Biden’s open borders.

Did the FBI put any of those criminals in jail or solitary confinement without being sentenced? or did they let these people free? Were any of these criminals illegals?

Close the border

DOJ = FASCISTS

Track the money.

That's what they should be doing instead of the inquisition.

Ya but will they prosecute is the question, or prosecute & give a slap on the hand? Equity. 🙄

Wonder how those got there.

And still yet Biden is their president

How did they open the Biden family's suitcases?

That's nice now throw that bum Trump in prison for life.

There's no doubt in our minds that Garland must and will be inpeached.

MaryDil29664033 Good job.

“201 cities”… Guessing the cartels aren’t being hindered by our “secure” border. The DOJ is taking credit for drug busts they allowed to get into the interior. Tens of thousands of preventable deaths from this clown show.

Cool but what are we doing about ex-president and co-conspirators who tried to overthrow government? TBH the real bad guys when comes to drugs is the DOJ, DEA, FDA, Medical Boards, and local law enforcements collusion on failed war on drugs.

'South of the border' has become a real problem. Maybe we should shift our military efforts away from the middle east ?

The President, DOJ, and DHS bear responsibility for allowing a total lack of security on the southern border. Terrorists have doubtless gained entry, and the flow of fentanyl kills hundreds of our people daily. Joe did that, and Merrill helped. Remember that in November.

DOJ wasting time looking for declassified records at Trump’s home, while kids OD. Sad. Dems ought to stop and prioritize their work in NY and DC. You were illegally elected to help the people

Don’t do anything just blame someone else.

Open borders what a surprise hey 😹😹

No, no that's the US. Our government is the incentive and domestic traffickers.

Only the military can stop it. DOJ allows it to continue.

Democrat clowns have finally figured this out? 🤣

I’m sure the influx coinciding with the current administration coming into office means nothing science

Half were found ar Mar-Lego. But they were Declassified. 😆

SECURE the BORDER FentanylDeaths

Drop in the bucket

Ship them back to China

…and they still want an open border.

Whether Mexico likes it or not, we really need to go into that country and clean out those drug cartels. We should treat them the way we treat Isis or Al-Qaeda,

Results of a weak southern border

So what the fk do they plan on doing about it?

U.S. State Department Says Putin Could Send Snowden to WarUpdate: Now that former NSA contractor Edward Snowden is officially Russian, he “may well be conscripted to fight in Russia’s war in Ukraine,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Monday. Good! He definitely should. Traitor. It’s funny I gather when Democrats laugh about an American (who helped expose a domestic spying operation) possibly being killed. What a trash party. Snowden’s lawyer said he won’t be because he has no military training.

Seahawks may make some changes in light of ineffective pass rushPete Carroll had quite a bit to say following the Seattle Seahawks’ inability to score on the final drive and defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. One of the sentiments centered around something... Full embrace Mafe was also by far the best edge against the run vs Falcons. Taylor and Nwosu were getting swallowed up and couldn’t hold the edge. Carlos Dunlap already has multiple sacks + FF. Good thing they let him walk for no reason.
