(The Center Square) – Gov. Gavin Newsom is blaming President Donald Trump’s deployment of the California National Guard for a 57% decrease in the amount of fentanyl seized at the southern border.
The number of pounds of fentanyl dropped by that percentage between May and June during seizure operations by the California National Guard’s Counterdrug Task Force, the Governor’s Office said in a news release. In June, 260 pounds of fentanyl powder were seized.
