Heinrich and Vasquez on Monday visited the Santa Teresa Port of Entry to highlight this. They say upgrades include better scanning technology for both inbound and outbound operations at the port.
“We really want to be able to focus simultaneously on policy as well as well as resources. The more resources CBP has, the more effectively they can scan all the trucks and passenger vehicles that are coming through here. But it’s also important because we passed a Fentanyl Act which gives tool to law enforcement to be able to go after the financial resources of the cartel that are trafficking these opioids,” Heinrich said.
