Human and drug trafficking networks organized by Mexican cartels are infiltrating communities and endangering Americans.

In January, authorities with the Cheatham County Drug Unit said Nashville had a drug trafficking hubciting a lack of resources for dedicated drug enforcement units and record numbers of people illegally crossing our southern border.

The failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration are the root cause of the border crisis and the deaths of countless Americans from fentanyl poisoning and violent crimes committed by dangerous individuals who illegally crossed the southern border.

“Every time I travel to counties across our state, I hear about how drug and human trafficking at the southern border is impacting local communities. The disastrous policies implemented by the Biden-Harris administration have contributed to fentanyl deaths, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and violent crimes committed by illegal aliens. Under this administration, every city is a border city and every state is a border state,” said Senator Blackburn.
