Cantwell Statement on Fentanyl Trafficking Bust

EDMONDS, WA - U.S Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) released the following statement on today's fentanyl trafficking bust.

"Tonight's announcement of the indictments against a violent criminal ring peddling fentanyl is welcome news. Tracking fentanyl in every mode of transportation like in our airports is critical to stopping the movement of this deadly drug because it helps expose local distribution rings. All of the Pacific Northwest should applaud the massive amount of federal, state, and local law enforcement work and coordination that led to these indictments and arrests," said Sen. Cantwell.
