DEA seizes millions of fentanyl pills amid ongoing opioid epidemic

National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day serves to honor those lost to fentanyl poisoning and highlight the opioid crisis. The DEA has seized nearly 30 million fentanyl pills and over 5,600 pounds of fentanyl powder this year, enough for a lethal dose for the populations of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Brian McNeal from the DEA and Detroit resident Robert Branner, who lost his daughter to fentanyl, discussed the issue and efforts to combat distribution.
