The Division of Iowa Narcotics Enforcement has reported a nearly 400percent increase in meth seizures in a 1year period. And in our largest city of Des Moines. meth seizures increased more than 4.000 percent. The number of labs producing meth has also increased dramatically. And many of the traffickers are illegal aliens from Mexico. presenting additional problems and burdens on law enforcement. This is especially challenging because Iowa currently has no Immigration and Naturalization Service office. Moth is now termed Iowas "drug of choice." And unfortunately. its spread has left no part of our State untouched. In a word. meth is poison.
Identified stereotypes
