New York City Mayor Eric Adams has called for a “national assault” on fentanyl following the arrest of the owner of a Bronx daycare facility where a 1-year-old boy died after allegedly being exposed to opioids.

Mr. Adams made the comments after meeting with the parents of baby Nicholas Dominici on Sept. 18; just days after suspects Carlisto Acevedo Brito, 41, and Grei Mendez, 36, were arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, assault, depraved indifference, and multiple drug charges.
