Fentanyl is the most dangerous drug to ever hit the streets and the DEA's New York Division, covering the entire state, seized 1.9 million fentanyl-laced, fake prescription pills in 2022, a 152% increase from the prior year.

Oddly enough ABC is still pro-illegal immigration and open borders

Their deaths are on Biden's hands for ignoring our Border allowing fentynol to come across in untold numbers. We have seized enough to kill every American and yet Biden says nothing to China for supplying the Cartels or our Border. He is the Angel of Death.

Let's go Brandon

Secure the Border!

Joe biden in the Democrats should be getting charged with murder allowing this to come straight across the border

And enough fentanyl has crossed Biden's open border just last year, to kill every American. That's Xi, using the cartel run border, to deliver death to Americans across Joe's open border.

But open borders and sanctuary cities are good because diversity makes us better. Let's open our borders, defund the police, no cash bails, that should fix the problem

headline should read FAKE prescription pills. do better ABC!

If hearing about fentynal related deaths in the United States pisses you off, thank buh pho fong pei xianxien and Dee Dee Huang

The Biden Administration- largest trafficker of humans and drugs in North America. Cartels and coyotes love Joe.

Authorities in New York have seized record amounts of fentanyl! That's good. It'll keep their agents from having to spend our taxes on their drugs and ensure a safe and steady supply still gets out to the American public. War is hell and it's profitable as well.

'Fentanyl trafficked by the Sinaloa and CJNG drug cartels is produced at secret factories in Mexico with chemicals largely from China, the DEA said.' I'm sure there are no secret factories that lopezobrador_ doesn't know about! POTUS

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So when is the US government going to crack down on the Chinese and Mexican drug Cartels for conspiracy to commit murder? While they're at it, they should do the same to the Pharmaceutical industry.

Fentanyl trafficking should become a weapon of mass destruction charge and cause of death poisoning

Gosh, where’s all that coming from?

Mexicans are our amigos.

You're reporting is a little late..

How bout that open border……….

ABC has not said a word on how El Paso was forced to cleaned up the streets of migrants prior to Biden's drive-by. Communist and Dictatorships is where this happens.

L-E-G-A-L-I-Z-E D-R-U-G-S-!

I wonder where all these drugs are coming from? Doesn't matter to you as long as we get those new set of voters though does it

FJB

Before everyone starts blaming the border for this, let's look how fentanyl OD deaths even rose under Trump!

And yet, nobody wants to take responsibility for the porous border where these drugs are coming from. Nor the sex trafficking. Why? Because it's somehow more compassionate than making immigrants legally enter the country.

Your just now going to start talking about it !! shame on you it’s been going on for two years now!!

So the seized fentanyl caused the overdoses? Read what you wrote then rewrite it.

That's amazing since they've made it a point to not fight crime at all.

Who wrote this terrible summary. It reads like the seizure caused the overdose problem, not the drugs themselves. The seizure will help reduce the problem!

I don’t see how people are making this, I don’t see how people are doing this

BorderCrisis has ramifications beyond what you see on the daily. NewYorkCity

Democrats aren’t going to do anything about it.

This must be misinformation because I just watched Biden on TV saying they have X-rays to catch these illegal drugs. He said something like 20,000 lbs was seized that could kill a thousand people. Does he have a clue? Hey Joe, enough to kill everyone in America…wow

SECURETHEBORDER - you can’t play grown up politics if you can’t fix difficult problems. Touting anything as people and fentanyl stream across the border makes you look like a lightweight.
