Gov. Gavin Newsom announced May 28 that nearly 6 million illegal fentanyl pills have been seized in California since January thanks to efforts by a state task force on drugs and other law enforcement groups.
“Illegal fentanyl has no place in our neighborhoods. California is tackling this problem head-on by holding drug traffickers accountable and increasing seizures, while at the same time expanding access to substance abuse treatment options and providing life-saving, affordable reversal medicine to Californians statewide,” he said in a press release.
