Description
California is continuing its crackdown on fentanyl being smuggled into the United States. Governor Newsom announced Thursday that the California National Guard will play an even larger role in this ongoing fight.
Twenty additional Cal Guard soldiers will be placed at the four ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border, including San Ysidro. So far this year, 93 percent of all fentanyl seizures have taken place at legal crossing points or vehicle checkpoints, which is where these additional guard troops will be targeting their efforts.
