The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, is traveling to Mexico to address the fentanyl crisis. Yellen aims to deepen cooperation to combat illicit finance and drug trafficking, including fentanyl. The Treasury Department has announced a new strike force to combat illicit fentanyl trafficking, imposing sanctions on 15 Mexican individuals involved in importing fentanyl into the U.S. The crisis has claimed over 112,000 American lives in a year, with fentanyl becoming the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45. The crisis has also led to a new federal bill to charge drug dealers with murder. The U.S. is taking actions to crack down on Mexico's drug cartels and stem the flow of fentanyl into the country, with a focus on strengthening supply chains and promoting national security.

The CDC says synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyl, contributed to about 75,000 overdose deaths last year. While the problem hits every demographic group, there are racial disparities between who is offered the most effective treatment — and who isn't. @WmBrangham reports. https://t.co/YzsKFuCHPa
Fentanyl is now almost certainly the biggest killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 49. Economists may have at last found a convincing explanation for the crisis https://t.co/GdYdtaDQnU ⬇️
Why is San Francisco on pace for its deadliest year of overdose? Because the city turned its back on recovery as a solution to this crisis. Add hundreds of pounds of fentanyl to the mix, and you have the perfect storm. The plain truth. https://t.co/y2xridQ6CA

Good to talk about fentanyl, but how about actual immigration?
Fentanyl, the vast majority of which is comes in from Mexico through our southern border—made with ingredients from China—is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18–45. We have to secure the border to stop the flow of drugs. #GOPDebate https://t.co/EMQdb8F3FV

Everybody is talking about Ukraine & Russia, Taiwan and China & Israel and Palestine. Nobody is talking about the fentanyl genocide happening in San Francisco where 3000+ innocent Americans of all colors, creeds and religions have died from fentanyl between 2019 and 2023.
The clock is ticking… How many more people have to die from Fentanyl in San Francisco for the international community to care?
Fentanyl's devastating impact on our community cannot be overstated. It is not just a statistic… each life lost represents a family destroyed, friendships broken, dreams destroyed and futures robbed… Our families deserve safety, not the horrors of a fentanyl genocide.…
The fentanyl genocide happening in San Francisco is beyond alarming. With over 3000 lives lost between 2019 and 2023, this epidemic is tearing families apart. Fentanyl is far from family friendly. #FentanylGenocide #SanFrancisco

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.
