Washington (AP)-an important player in the struggle of the US government to combat the flow of fatal fentanyl is a team in a little known research laboratory in North Virginia that works on analyzing seized drugs and collecting intelligence to find ways to stop the offer.
Attorney General Pam Bondi traveled on Tuesday to the Drug Enforcement Administration lab to meet chemists who have the task of identifying the ever-evolving tactics of cartels to produce medicines that flow across the southern border.
“We try to reverse engineer -engine -engine -engines what the cartels do at any time,” Senior Dea Research Chemist David Guthrie told Bondi. “When something new appears, it is our job to find out how that happened there. Have they changed the recipe? Do they use a new compound?”
Bondi supported a Blue DEA Laboratory Jacket when she visited an attempt to subject an important Trump administration lord priority by the facility to combat the illegal stream of Fentanyl who is to blame for tens of thousands of overdose deaths every year.
The chemists showed Bondi the ease with which cartels are able to produce Fentanyl, and detailed how their team works to identify new connections to help keep law enforcement illegal drugs.
“That is how easy it is to kill Americans,” said Bondi after seeing blue pills from a pilpers shooting by researchers who are able to produce 15,000 pills per hour.
The Trump government has tried to increase the pressure on violent drug cartels and criminal gangs and to accuse an alleged high -handed member of Tren de Aragua in Colombia with terrorism media earlier this month.
The White House has linked the Fentanyl issue to its rates and says that the president works to keep Mexico, Canada and China “responsible for their promises to stop illegal immigration and to stop toxic fentanyl and other drugs to combine our country.”
