San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins (@BrookeJenkinsSF) announced charges against two individuals for narcotics trafficking in the Tenderloin district, with 700 grams of fentanyl and other drugs seized. Additionally, eight other individuals were arraigned for felony narcotics charges, with nine out of ten remaining in custody. This action is part of a broader effort to tackle America's fentanyl crisis, with New York being identified as ground zero. Efforts to address the issue include law enforcement crackdowns on open-air drug markets and discussions on leveraging trade policy with China to curb fentanyl exports. The U.S. drug crisis, exacerbated by the fentanyl epidemic, has prompted discussions on the effectiveness of humane approaches to drug addiction and the need for leadership in addressing the issue, emphasizing public safety.
Thank You @NEWSMAX for having me on tonight and shining a light on the darkness happening in San Francisco. Fentanyl is NOT family friendly. The crime and mass theft is, in fact, connected to the fentanyl trade. It’s a cycle that is not just having a negative impact on San… https://t.co/Pdp1Qlum7T
Thank you @Twolfrecovery . I was shocked & sad, and learned so much, including that fentanyl has such an addictive short high that addicts need 10-12 hits a day, and cartels are smuggling it over the US / Mexico border on the bottom of onion trucks so onions throw off sniffing… https://t.co/L7gxVqJSEP

Damn fentanyl is crazy https://t.co/jvdjJpuPDm
How did a nation’s pursuit of a more humane approach to drug addiction end up deepening the despair? In search of answers, I talked to families who've endured unimaginable loss and walked the streets of the East Coast's largest open-air drug market.

As America has turned away from “the war on drugs,” many cities have sought more “humane” approaches to dealing with addiction. They’re not working. In my new documentary, I explore how deep-seated the U.S. Drug Crisis has become. https://t.co/plspDgV0Bd
I want to personally thank @BrookeJenkinsSF for changing the narrative that open air drug dealing will be tolerated in SF. I wish her predecessors Gascon & Boudin set the same tone but they didn’t - & the city is still paying the price of their inaction. Leadership matters. https://t.co/8q4LS7kRRT
I would like to thank @SFPD + our other partners in law enforcement who are working tirelessly to close open-air drug markets. My office will continue to do everything we can to hold dealers accountable + reinforcing our msg that SF remains committed to public safety for all. https://t.co/Qt1FktPUFX
