California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced a public safety milestone: 37,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized since 2021. That includes 54 million lethal fentanyl pills worth more than $500 million. Newsom’s office said the fentanyl was taken before it reached California communities. “While others chase headlines and deploy troops for political theater, California is doing the real work, stopping drugs at the border, saving lives and holding traffickers accountable,” the Democratic governor said in his announcement. justthenews.com
