U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized enough fentanyl in January alone to kill 60 million Americans despite a decrease in overall encounters.

Statistics from CBP’s January report were announced in their Monthly Operational Update press release. The statics indicate a decrease in encounters with illegal immigrants following the new border measures implemented on Jan. 5. However, border agents have still encountered massive amounts of illegal drugs trafficked from Mexico.
