A Texas congresswoman is the co-author of a bipartisan bill to crack down on the financing of fentanyl. Monica De La Cruz is the Republican representative of the 15th District in Texas, which extends from the San Antonio are to the Rio Grande.
The newly enacted law calls on the General Accounting Office to investigate how drug cartels are laundering the cash.
De La Cruz says the synthetic opioid’s rise is an unprecedented crisis. The CDC says two-thirds of last year’s 107-thousand fatal drug overdoses in the U.S. were linked to fentanyl.
