The DEA says our streets in the U.S., including OK, are being flooded with fentanyl-laced pills.
They say the fake pills caused 75% of the 93,000 drug overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2020.
The DEA says the 1.8 million fentanyl-laced pills they’ve seized in the past two months, could potentially kill more than 700,000 Americans.
Agents also seized 712 kilos of fentanyl powder: enough to make tens of millions of lethal pills.

The top two pills pictured are legitimate.
The bottom two pictured are the illegal fakes.
