First of all on the fox: New legislation was presented Tuesday in the Chamber and the Senate which would allow fentanyl merchants linked to the distribution resulting in the death which must be accused of criminal murder.
Under the current American law, there is a compulsory minimum of 20 years in prison for the same offense, but the legal process of prosecution is not judged as a case of murder. The legislation would increase the severity and the consequences of the concessionaires for more repression on the fentanyl crisis which has taken around 280,000 thousand American lives since 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIH).

Senator Joni Ernst, R-IOW, and representative Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, unveiled the criminal murder for the mortal of fentanyl distribution as a bicameral bill on Tuesday, which also marks the national day of awareness of fentanyl. The legislation will now head to the committee of the two chambers.
“The drug cartels took advantage of gaps at our borders to peddle illicit drugs in our country, while waiting for our communities to pay the price,” Gonzales told Fox News Digital. “My bill sends a strong message to those working with cartels and other bad players – if you sell drugs and take an innocent life, justice will be done. Our law enforcement organizations are over -off to combat the drug epidemic in America, it is time to take measures and increase sanctions for fentanyle dealers.”
Although the number of deaths is in hundreds of thousands, the Department of Internal Security (DHS) estimates that “nearly 64,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized on the southern border”, which is enough to “kill 14 billion people”.
“I saw in the first hand how the scourge of fentanyl inflicted an incredible tragedy on the communities of Iowa,” Senator Joni Ernst told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “I worked for years to protect the Americans and stop this fatal epidemic. Increase the severity of the punishment for drug traffickers responsible for the death of too many Iowans has been expected for a long time.”
