Wilkes-Barre——美国司法部10月19日发布，司法部副部长 Todd Blanche 与联邦参议员 Dave McCormick 当日在宾夕法尼亚州 Wilkes-Barre 的 Luzerne County 法院，与联邦、州和地方执法负责人举行圆桌会议，讨论宾州东北部及全州打击芬太尼危机的进展，其后共同召开记者会。Blanche 表示，自特朗普总统上任以来，执法部门缴获的芬太尼致命剂量下降59%，宾州报告的药物过量死亡在一年内下降近20%；McCormick 称，宾州芬太尼死亡人数下降约六成。Blanche 将进展归功于各级执法机构的协作与边境安全执法。司法部介绍，宾州近期的执法成果包括起诉费城地区一个贩毒团伙的四名成员，该团伙涉嫌每天出售约1,600袋芬太尼。司法部称，摧毁芬太尼贩运网络与合成阿片类药物供应链仍是其优先事项。
Deputy Attorney General Blanche Touts Fentanyl Progress in Pennsylvania: Lethal Doses Down 59%, Overdose Deaths Down Nearly 20 Percent
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Senator Dave McCormick convened federal, state and local law enforcement leaders at the Luzerne County Courthouse in Wilkes-Barre on October 19 for a roundtable on progress combating the fentanyl crisis in Northeastern Pennsylvania and across the Commonwealth, followed by a press conference, the Justice Department said. Blanche said lethal fentanyl doses seized have fallen 59 percent since President Trump took office, while reported overdose deaths in Pennsylvania declined nearly 20 percent in one year; McCormick said fentanyl deaths in Pennsylvania are down about 60 percent. Blanche credited cooperation among law enforcement agencies and border-security efforts. The department pointed to recent enforcement results in Pennsylvania, including indictments against four alleged members of a Philadelphia-area drug ring accused of selling about 1,600 bags of fentanyl a day. Disrupting fentanyl trafficking networks and synthetic opioid supply chains remains a department priority, the DOJ said.
