Members of Congress have introduced various bills to address the smuggling of fentanyl and other illegal activities at the U.S. southern border. Representative Luttrell introduced legislation to grant the National Guard the power to stop armed individuals from crossing the border.

Senator Bob Casey, alongside the PA State Police and local law enforcement, discussed his 'Stop Fentanyl at the Border Act', designed to aid police in keeping communities safe from fentanyl smuggling.
