(WBAP/KLIF) — A record one-million Fentanyl pills and 7,000 pounds of methamphetamine has been seized by the Drug Enforcement Division’s Dallas Office during 2022.
Most of the smuggled Fentanyl is pressed into counterfeit pain pills that appear strikingly similar to prescription medication. The DEA Dallas Field Division’s Eduardo Chavez says just two milligrams of the drug is enough to kill. Chavez credits the record number of seizures to DEA agents and local law enforcement partners, including the Dallas Police Department and Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office.
Chavez says the busts confiscated over 11.4 million doses of Fentanyl, last year, which is primarily trafficked through the southern border. A staggering number of Americans died from taking Fentanyl in 2022, eclipsing 107,000 fatalities.
