American sheriffs are calling for Congress to take action against Mexican drug cartels behind the ongoing fentanyl crisis—including providing additional manpower and tools for law enforcement—in the aftermath of the deaths of two Americans in an attack by gang members.

The National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) said it supports recent attempts in Congress to undercut and dismantle drug cartels, which have caused havoc at the border and are responsible for the smuggling of illegal immigrants and narcotics such as fentanyl into the United States, and is pushing for more action.
