“We’ve lost one hundred thousand people just this past year to fentanyl,” he said.During a conversation with KPRC 2 Investigates on Monday, he made it clear that this is a drug he knows all too well.There are two new bills the representative is proposing.which is focused on declaring the international tracking of Fentanyl as a national emergency.
“I think it already should have been a federal emergency. So, the fact that we are now going in that direction makes me very happy,” said the President of Positive Recovery Centers in Houston Julie Denofa.which is designed to have the United States work with Mexican officials to stop the importing of ingredients used to make Fentanyl from reaching their Mexican destination.
Denofa’s reaction to the feds aiming at fighting Fentanyl south of the border before reaching the U.S., “I want to stop it from getting into Houston, I want to stop it from getting into the hands of anybody that can be harmed by it.” The Project Precursor Act is set to go before the committee on Tuesday and potentially may make it to the floor by the end of the month, according to McCaul.
