Reevaluating Bondi's Claims: The Real Effects of Fentanyl Seizures on Americans

In a Cabinet meeting on April 30, Attorney General Pam Bondi praised President Trump's achievements, particularly in combatting fentanyl. However, her claim that seizures saved 258 million lives misrepresented the U.S. population. Previous estimates suggested 119 million. While drugs can cause significant harm, not all doses result in fatalities. Experts caution against hyperbolic rhetoric surrounding drug seizures. Current data show a decline in overdose deaths, and while any life saved is crucial, the actual numbers are starkly lower than exaggerated claims suggest.
