“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a group of Minnesota heroes. Earlier this month, the Washington County Drug Task Force, made up of law enforcement from Dakota, Ramsey, and Washington Counties, successfully executed the largest fentanyl seizure in Minnesota history. The officers seized over 30,000 grams of fentanyl pills and charged six individuals for their role in trafficking these drugs. It is difficult to comprehend the devastation that could have befallen these families if those pills had reached our community. In Minnesota, we know that fighting the fentanyl crisis will require all members of our communities to do their part. From those dedicated members of Minnesota law enforcement to the parents and advocates who have shared their stories with me, to the educators working to raise awareness about the dangers of illicit drugs, we all have a role to play in saving lives and addressing this crisis. That is why I am working across the aisle to expand overdose prevention tools and hold drug traffickers accountable. A grateful community thanks every member of law enforcement for the work they do every day to keep our communities safe. Israeli Hostages”
