The amount of fentanyl seized in the United States this year could kill every American five times, according to Customs and Border Protection – and the problem stretches far beyond the U.S.-Mexico border.
Law enforcement agencies across the country are finding a record amount of fentanyl. In Colorado and Montana, fentanyl seizures so far in 2022 are already higher than in the entire year of 2021.
In Florida’s Flagler County, fentanyl busts increased 275% compared to this time last year.
