Florida’s attorney general is asking the Biden administration to declare illicit fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction” as trafficking of the deadly drug and overdoses soar.

“Given how many Americans are being murdered, the whole federal government and every tactic and capability that we have should be utilized to stop the death and destruction that fentanyl is causing,” Ashley Moody wrote in a letter dated July 18 to President Joe Biden.
