flag US House passes HALT Fentanyl Act, advancing strict measures against synthetic opioids.

flag The US House has passed the HALT Fentanyl Act with a vote of 321-104, advancing it to President Trump for signature. flag The bipartisan bill classifies synthetic fentanyl and its analogs as Schedule I substances, leading to harsher penalties for possession. flag While it gained support from nearly all Republicans and many Democrats, critics argue it fails to address deeper issues of the opioid crisis and could worsen the criminal justice system. flag Meanwhile, Canada's fentanyl czar, Kevin Brosseau, supports his country's proposed border bill, the Strong Borders Act, which aims to enhance law enforcement's ability to fight fentanyl through increased inspection powers and control over chemicals used in its production.
