Idaho Delegation: Biden-Harris Admin is Complicit in the Flow of Fentanyl into our Country

BOISE, Idaho--U.S. Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch and U.S. Representatives Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher today demanded the Biden-Harris Administration answer for its failure to stop the flow of illicit and deadly fentanyl into Idaho through the southern border.  The Administration’s lax border policies have allowed historic amounts of fentanyl to enter the United States.  Fentanyl overdose is now the leading cause of death in those ages 18 to 45, claiming 197 Idahoan lives last year.

“It is apparent that the Biden-Harris Administration’s open-border policies have done nothing but imperil national security and endanger law-abiding citizens. Since day one, this Administration exacerbated the crisis at our border and undermined the efforts of those trying to secure it,” wrote the lawmakers.  “By allowing drug cartels to exploit our southern border, the Biden-Harris Administration is complicit in the flow of fentanyl into our country. Idaho families are paying the price.”
