Use federal tools against fentanyl suppliers and traffickers

McCormick supports using federal action against suppliers and traffickers who produce or bring fentanyl into the United States, and sanctions against financial flows that support them. He calls for using sanctions, intelligence resources, military interdictions at sea, and other available tools to make it harder for cartels to produce fentanyl using ingredients from China. He says operational control of the southern border is also needed to address the crisis.
