Harris pledges to double DOJ resources to combat drug cartels and fentanyl trafficking

Vice President Kamala Harris announced plans to "double" resources for the Department of Justice to combat drug cartels and reduce fentanyl trafficking into the U.S. This statement came after former President Donald Trump falsely claimed she supports legalizing fentanyl. Harris emphasized the need for stronger action against cartels during her speech in Las Vegas. She also highlighted her commitment to comprehensive immigration reform, contrasting her approach with Trump's criticism of her border policies. The announcement follows a significant rise in drug overdose deaths, with over 100,000 reported last year, primarily linked to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Harris's rally in Nevada attracted more than 7,500 attendees.
