Several U.S. senators, including Sen. Rick Scott, Sen. Bob Casey, Sen. Bill Cassidy, and Sen. Jon Tester, have been actively working on legislation to combat the fentanyl crisis. They have introduced acts like the END FENTANYL Act, FEND Off Fentanyl Act, HALT Fentanyl Act, and ANTI Drugs Act to target fentanyl trafficking, enhance border security, and provide law enforcement with necessary resources. These efforts aim to address the devastating impact of fentanyl on communities and save lives.
I’m grateful to Orange County Sheriff’s High Interdiction Team for getting these dangerous drugs off the street. I’ll continue fighting to give our law enforcement officers the tools they need to help stop fentanyl before it reaches our communities. https://t.co/1zoPLVOj3D
Proud to announce my resolution affirming National Fentanyl Awareness as May 7th unanimously passed the United States Senate! I don’t want another person to lose a loved one from this deadly drug, and that starts with raising awareness at every level of our government. https://t.co/N6LLxvgaxP
A lesser-celebrated accomplishment of the past few months: we passed the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, which will crack down on the organizations that are trafficking fentanyl into our communities. It’s an important step to address the devastating fentanyl epidemic and save lives.
As we continue our work to crack down on fentanyl trafficking, my ANTI Drugs Act is an important next step towards combatting this drug epidemic and boosting border security. I'm proud to have some of the nation's leading public safety organizations backing this bipartisan bill.
This #NationalPoliceWeek, I moved to pass my HALT Fentanyl Act, to ensure law enforcement have the tools to go after criminals flooding communities w/ deadly drugs. The bill makes permanent the Schedule I classification of fentanyl-related substances. Unfortunately, Dems objected https://t.co/ykYBlcjOzF
I fought to pass the FEND Off Fentanyl Act to target the criminal groups who produce and traffic fentanyl - but there's still more to do. My Stop Fentanyl at the Border Act will ensure border protection officers have the resources to detect it at ports of entry.
Getting my END FENTANYL Act passed was a start, but it's going to take partners at the federal, state and local levels to end the deadly fentanyl crisis. Our discussion Friday was a crucial step in working together to get these drugs out and keep our communities safe. https://t.co/6oWSQUvNso
