Mysterious Drop in Fentanyl Seizures Prompts US Investigation

A drop in fentanyl seizures at the US-Mexico border has raised concerns among US officials, who are investigating the reasons behind the decline. The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, stated that strengthened collaboration with Mexico played a key role. However, the shift has also led to concerns about the evolving methods of drug trafficking, as cartels appear to be using tunnels and mail to smuggle fentanyl. Adding to the complexity, a security alert was issued by the US Consulate in Guadalajara due to a series of kidnappings of US citizens through dating apps. "There is nothing mysterious about that," Leavitt said, "and we'd like to see The Washington Post update their headline accordingly." The situation highlights the ongoing challenges in combating drug trafficking and the need for continued cooperation between the US and Mexico.
