The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced Thursday that in this year alone they have seized enough fentanyl crossing the border to kill 200 million people. The drug seizures are part of Operation Lone Star – a Texas initiative to curb entry of human traffickers and drug runners into the state. According to new data provided by the Texas DPS on Thursday, Operation Lone Star has seized 160 pounds of fentanyl within its targeted area. “They try and sell it as ‘synthetic heroin’ in order to increase their profits,” DPS seized drug system trainer Jennifer Hatch said. Operation Lone Star reported the additional seizure of 477 firearms, as well as over 10,000 criminal arrests.
