Colorado is facing a concerning surge in fentanyl seizures, with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reporting record-breaking numbers. The DEA attributes this rise to cartels expanding into new regions and distributing larger quantities of the potent drug.
DEA officials have observed an increase in cartel activity across states like Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. They have noted the presence of drugs typically associated with cartels in regions like eastern Washington and even seen street gangs from Detroit and the East Coast entering Montana to capitalize on the high prices per pill.
