The Drug Enforcement Administration along with Arizona police seized a record 1.7 million fentanyl pills at the U.S.-Mexico border. The DEA confirmed it teamed up with Scottsdale Police and Arizona’s Attorney General’s Office to carry out the drug bust earlier this month.
The agency did not give details of any arrests or the specific location of the sting operation. During a press conference, however, DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said the agency’s latest seizure helped prevent thousands of overdose deaths.
“DEA agents in Arizona seized approximately 1.7 million pills and 13 pounds of fentanyl in a single operation,” she announced. “I am confident that the DEA agents and the task fore officers prevented a significant number of overdoses and overdose deaths with just that seizure alone.”

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16 Modern English Version)
