Arizona ports of entry saw the highest amount of fentanyl seized in August and more than at the rest of the U.S. border with Mexico plus the border with Canada.
Customs officers at Arizona ports seized more than 1,300 pounds of fentanyl in August, according to Customs and Border Protection data released Monday. The August amount was more than twice as high as July's, which was also a record-setter and more than twice as high as in most previous months.
Border Patrol seizures of fentanyl in Arizona also set records in August. The Border Patrol seized 207 pounds in the state. The main states for fentanyl smuggling are Arizona and California. Typically, ports on the southern border in California see higher amounts. In July, the San Diego Customs officers had a record amount of seizures at 1,121 pounds. But as the amount skyrocketed in Arizona, it fell in San Diego to only 368 pounds seized at ports in August.
“As they consolidate that power, which is something they're always striving to do, we're going to see increased fentanyl coming into our state,” Brown said.
