PETERS AND HAWLEY REINTRODUCE BIPARTISAN BILL TO BOLSTER DHS EFFORTS TO DETECT AND SEIZE ILLICIT DRUGS

Hearing

Date: May 4, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Drugs

"Fentanyl and other dangerous drugs continue to wreak havoc on our communities in Michigan and across the country. The federal government must work to reduce the supply of these drugs to help prevent overdoses and save lives," said Senator Peters. "This commonsense, bipartisan bill will help make sure that the Department of Homeland Security uses every tool at their disposal to fight back against trafficking and seize these deadly drugs before they can harm Americans."

"Illicit drugs such as fentanyl are devastating communities and families across the country, including those in Missouri," said Senator Hawley. "In order to crack down on drug cartels and criminals operating across our southern border, we need to give the Department of Homeland Security the right tools and resources to root out drug smuggling and improve interdiction efforts. I'm proud to work with Chairman Peters on bipartisan solutions to address the ongoing opioid crisis."
