Federal agents make huge seizure of fentanyl in Arizona, enough to kill every American plus

Just The News

With an unknown volume of fentanyl and other drugs pouring through the southern border between ports of entry in Arizona, federal agents recently seized enough fentanyl to kill more than 450 million people at several ports of entry and checkpoints.

Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations-Tucson Field Office agents working through “Operation Blue Lotus,” and Border Patrol Tucson and Yuma Sector agents working through “Operation Four Horsemen” seized substantial amounts of methamphetamine and over a ton of fentanyl. The operations occurred from March 6 to May 8 at four ports of entry and at two checkpoints.

With two milligrams considered a lethal dose, one ton of fentanyl, or 2,000 pounds, is enough to kill 453,592,400 people.

The operations’ success was “attributed to the federal, state and local partners that spent countless hours not just by responding to port calls but assisting HSI with seizures throughout Arizona,” Department of Homeland Security Investigations Arizona Special Agent in Charge Scott Brown said when announcing the bust. “Drugs, but especially fentanyl, are decimating communities. But together and with education, we all can make a significant impact in curbing the senseless deaths associated with the sale of these deadly drugs,” he said.

As a result of their efforts, county attorneys are prosecuting alleged offenders and nine cases were referred for federal prosecution. Among the federal cases, those charged allegedly attempted to smuggle drugs into the U.S. at ports of entry or made it through and were stopped at checkpoints. Or they picked up drugs from others who made it across the border undetected and were caught at checkpoints. The drivers were all heading north, authorities said. Single vehicles stopped held enough fentanyl to kill tens of millions of people. read more

  1. …seriously, what the hell are they doing with this stuff if they ALREADY have enough to kill everybody a dozen times over? And its generally used as an adulterant to cut OTHER drugs with, so you don’t even need a full dose among those who purposely poison themselves.

    …seems like oversupply would drop the price, too. And wouldn’t that make it less attractive to the seller?

    …unless there’s some subsidy because someone ELSE wants to make sure it gets on the street, for reasons other than mere drug profits…

  2. Supposedly the correct “Dose” is some few micrograms. Not so easy to measure. Duck-Duck confirms that 2mg is a lethal dose. that is like a pinch of salt. How can they talk about TONS of this ?

  3. 2 tons is enough for 1.8 BILLION doses at 50 micrograms per dose, if we’re talking about not killing people. How many black market daily drug users are there in the country? I have no clue, but if there are 50 million of them 2 tons is enough for spiking 3628 doses per drug user, be it marijuana, oxy, pcp, lsd, coke, heroin.. So the drug dealer can sell an inferior product or doesn’t have to sell a legitimate product at all, just spike some benign element with fentanyl. Evil shit.

  4. Here we go again. My problem is always this, you’ve captured the drugs and the drivers and I’m sure the drivers will be punished. In a nano second there will be new drivers hired. If you want to make headlines, tell me you’ve arrested a Cartel leader, raided a drug manufacturing place and arrested some leaders of these drug selling, human killing s.o.b’s.

  5. I truly hope they send it all to DC … and dose each Representative, Senator, Supreme Court Judge, Usurper, SES, and Agency head with an ounce each.
    If they have any left over, dose the maggots in the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, and Pentagon. And give the Retarded Pedophile Usurper his 10% intravenously.
