Texas police seize 3.1 million lethal doses of fentanyl in single traffic stop
Texas state troopers seized 3.1 million lethal doses of fentanyl during a single traffic stop in the border town of Mission this week, Gov. Greg Abbott
... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too...
said.
The drugs, which have a street value of about $312,000, marked one of the largest seizures to date by Operation Lone Star, which was launched by Abbott in 2021 to crack down on crime in border communities.

Police pulled over Mario Reyna Cantu, a 39-year-old Mexican national, for a traffic violation while he was driving a black Cadillac SUV on Monday.

During the stop, a trooper discovered five bundles of a white powdery substance that tested positive for fentanyl on the scene, as well as at a state Department of Public Safety crime lab.

"Because of this single seizure, millions of lethal doses of fentanyl will not make their way into communities across our state, and really our country, and millions of lives are potentially saved," Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw said in a statement.

#1 3.1 MM doses with a street value of $0.31MM. Imagine how cheap it is to actually make. For the cartels, this is just the cost of doing business. Wouldn't be surprised if this was just a red herring to cover for the actual shipment.
