The illicit fentanyl crisis, fueled by supply chains in China and cartels in Mexico, has prompted legislative and enforcement actions. The bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl bill, targeting these supply chains, has passed the Senate and awaits House approval. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is traveling to Mexico to deepen cooperation on combating illicit finance and drug trafficking, with a focus on stemming the supply of fentanyl into the U.S. The Treasury has launched a Counter-Fentanyl Strike Force to curb trafficking, while efforts are being made to keep drug money out of the U.S. financial system. The crisis involves young Americans recruited as 'body carriers' and the role of American-made guns in the fentanyl trade at the border.

A lot of fentanyl is crossing the border in "vaginal cavities and rectums." Cartels recruit young Americans as "body carriers" on Instagram who walk it over the bridges.

Law enforcement on the frontlines of the fentanyl crisis, including @NAPOpolice, know that we need to crack down on the chemical suppliers in China & cartels in Mexico. The House must listen to law enforcement & include our bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl bill in this year's NDAA. https://t.co/P1tkOaegv7
