We talked earlier about an organization in Ohio that is
dealing with this threat that is coming into our communities, and the
private sector and nonprofits have a huge role to play but so does the
Federal Government, and so does the Department of Homeland Security. Again, Kirstjen Nielsen understands that need. The Department of
Homeland Security plays a critical role in countering the significant
threat because it comes through the U.S. mail system, and it is Customs
and Border Protection officers who are meant to screen those packages
that come in through the mail. Unlike heroin, which enters the U.S. over land, typically from
Mexico, manufacturers, mostly in China, ship fentanyl through the U.S.
mail directly into our communities. The Federal Government is
responsible here.
