The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Houston Field Division on Wednesday announced massive seizures of fentanyl powder and fentanyl-laced pills accounting for more than 7 million deadly doses of fentanyl.
According to a Dec. 28 statement, the agency has contained more than 670,00 fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills and more than 230 pounds of fentanyl powder this year, dealing a blow to the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, two criminal groups that are responsible for trafficking most of the fentanyl into the United States after it is mass-produced at secret factories across Mexico with chemicals sourced largely from China.
