Ernst, Kaine, Bice, Carbajal Combat Threat of Fentanyl

Press Release

"Fentanyl freely flowing across our border and into our communities has put Americans at the mercy of the cartels. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I'm using my oversight authority of the Department of Defense to stem the fentanyl crisis at its source: Mexican transnational criminal organizations. The amount of lives lost in Iowa and across the country due to this deadly drug has far surpassed the federal government's response, and we must scale immediately to combat this national security threat. This bipartisan work will engage Mexico as an active partner to counter fentanyl trafficking and put the Pentagon's tools to use to save American lives."
