EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is set to introduce a slate of bills pressing the federal government to implement a comprehensive response to the fentanyl crisis at the southern border, the Washington Examiner has learned. 

Gallego filed three bills during a pro forma session in the House on Friday that would require different government agencies to work together to crack down on the flow of fentanyl coming into the country, according to copies of the legislation obtained by the Washington Examiner. The legislation comes just over a week before Congress is set to return in September, and the border becomes a major matter ahead of the November election.
