(CNSNews.com) - A federal grand jury in Sacramento, Calif., has indicted two Mexican nationals who were pulled over in a traffic stop and then were discovered to be “in possession of approximately 14,799 fentanyl-laced counterfeit oxycodone pills.”
“A federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment Thursday against Ivan Lopez, 34, of Mexico, and Erick Olivas Lopez, 39, of Mexico, charging them with conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute at least 400 grams of a substance containing fentanyl,” U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott of the Eastern District of California announced in a statement released on Thursday.
"The charges are only allegations; the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," the U.S. attorney's statement said.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment Thursday against Ivan Lopez, 34, of Mexico, and Erick Olivas Lopez, 39, of Mexico, charging them with conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute at least 400 grams of a substance containing fentanyl, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.According to court documents, on April 25, 2019, the defendants were found in possession of approximately 14,799 fentanyl-laced counterfeit oxycodone pills, weighing approximately 1.6 kilograms, during a traffic stop in Sacramento.This case is the product of an investigation by the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Team (TRIDENT), the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and the California Highway Patrol.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate that according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine. The illicit drug has been attributed to the alarming increase in opioid overdose deaths throughout the United States.

JUDICIAL WATCH:
“The greatest criminal threat to the daily lives of American citizens are the Mexican drug cartels.”
“Mexican drug cartels are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually every community across this country.” JUDICIALWATCH
"In a state like Florida, where immigrants make up about 25.4 percent of the labor force, American workers have their weekly wages reduced by perhaps more than 12.5 percent. In California, where immigrants make up 34 percent of the labor force, American workers’ weekly wages are reduced by potentially 17 percent." JOHN BINDER

"In the last decade alone, the U.S. admitted ten million legal immigrants, forcing American workers to compete against a growing population of low-wage foreign workers. Meanwhile, if legal immigration continues, there will be 69 million foreign-born residents living in the U.S. by 2060. This would represent an unprecedented electoral gain for the Left, as Democrats win about 90 percent of congressional districts where the foreign-born population exceeds the national average."
Politico: Joe Biden ‘Supercharged’ America’s Opioid Crisis
3:56
Former vice president Joe Biden “supercharged” America’s devastating opioid crisis through policies he backed as a U.S. Senator, cracking down on overdose prevention sites and making it riskier to call 911 if someone overdosed.
Biden also made racial disparities in sentencing worse by leading legislative efforts to punish the use of crack.
That is the conclusion of an extensive report by Zachary Siegel on Thursday in Politico, which documents Biden’s leading role in the “War on Drugs” over nearly four decades in the Senate — and the public health consequences.
Politico reported (original links):
In Philadelphia, where Penn is located and Biden’s presidential campaign is headquartered, activists and public health workers actually laid the groundwork for what would be the nation’s first overdose prevention site. But earlier this year, federal prosecutors in Pennsylvania filed suit against Safehouse, the nonprofit organization formed to run the location, preemptively acting to prevent the overdose prevention site from opening. To block it, the law they cited was an old provision of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, known as the “crack-house statute,” which Biden co-sponsored.…Far from simply being a relic of the crack era, Biden expanded the statute in the early 2000s by authoring the Reducing Americans’ Vulnerability to Ecstasy, or RAVE Act, in response to fears about the use of MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, at raves. Whereas the crack-house statute originally applied to permanent locations, Biden’s RAVE Act—which was signed into law in 2003 as a section of the PROTECT Act—expanded the provision to allow prosecutors to go after the operators of temporary locations where drugs happen to be consumed, like the owners of warehouses or fields where music festivals are held [including Burning Man].…In the absence of such locations, what happens when someone doesoverdose on opioids? If they’re fortunate enough to be around someone else at the time, that person might call 911. Or they might not—especially if they are also using drugs or provided them to the person who overdosed. Research shows that the number-one reason people cite for not calling 911 for help during overdoses is the possibility they’ll face criminal charges. And that’s a fear that exists in large part thanks to another law co-authored by Joe Biden—a crack-era provision that, along with copycat legislation at the state level, is part of what is collectively known as the “Len Bias Laws.”…The original intent of the legislation was to enhance the sentences faced by major drug traffickers and so-called kingpins whose products had destroyed the lives of addicted people. But the law has instead had the effect of turning accidental overdoses into homicides—and, in so doing, discouraging people who use drugs from calling for emergency services if they’re around someone who overdoses and needs emergency medical attention. … Biden’s legislation not only led to the prosecution of addicted people and their friends and family, but also exacerbated existing racial disparities in incarceration.
Politico notes that the impact of the opioid crisis has been worst in white, working-class regions of the country where Biden is hoping to have his greatest political appeal.
Biden has, belatedly, acknowledged his role in the drug crisis — including heavier sentences for crack than cocaine. In a speech earlier this year to the National Action Network, run by Al Sharpton — a racist and antisemite whose support every major Democratic presidential candidate is courting — Biden acknowledged that error, claiming that he tried to address the disparity in sentencing as vice president. Siegel notes that the Obama administration merely reduced, but did not eliminate, the sentencing disparity.
Biden’s campaign, responding to Politico, blamed the failure of Biden’s drug legislation to the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994, which they say resulted in less funding for drug courts and drug treatment.

A NATION DIES OF OPIOID ADDICTION
AMERICAN BIG PHARMA, RED CHINA and NARCOMEX PARTNER FOR THE BIG BUCKS
“The drug epidemic is the product of capitalism and the policies of the capitalist parties, both Democrats and Republicans. There is, first of all, the role of the pharmaceutical companies, which have amassed huge profits from the deceptive marketing of opioid pain killers, which they claimed were not addictive. Prescriptions for opioids such as Percocet, Oxycontin and Vicodin skyrocketed from 76 million in 1991 to nearly 259 million in 2012. What are the numbers and profits now?
