Security forces seized one ton of fentanyl at nine different points of entry into the United States in Arizona. This is enough to kill more than 453 million people.
According to reports from The Center Square, agents acting in the Operation Blue Lotus and in the Operation Four Horsemen stopped narcotics at six border points: DeConcini and Mariposa (Nogales County), Lukeville (Pima County), San Luis and Wellton (Yuma County) and Amado (Santa Cruz County).
In addition to the fentanyl, security forces seized weapons and cash. Scott Brown, special agent in charge of the Arizona Department of Homeland Security Investigations, noted that the effectiveness of this operation "is attributed to the federal, state and local partners who spent countless hours not only responding to port calls, but also assisting HSI in seizures made throughout the state of Arizona."
