U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has in the last week seized over 1.2 million fentanyl pills and other drugs hidden inside a truck, crutches, and a woman’s body cavity making their way into the United States.

Since Aug. 20, the number of fentanyl pills intercepted by CBP agents as individuals attempted to smuggle them into the United States ranges from the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or more—at just one service port in Arizona.
