Fighting the Fentanyl Crisis at the US-Mexico Border
The port of entry at Nogales, Arizona, showcases constant daily traffic of people and goods. This location is crucial in combatting the influx of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. Veronica Garcia, a Border Patrol agent, demonstrated the layers of security implemented to detect and intercept fentanyl, including x-ray scanners, vehicle searches, and drug-sniffing dogs.
