SOUTH CAROLINA AG WILSON: Fentanyl is a national security threat — follow the Chinese money

Every day, families across this country are losing loved ones to fentanyl. This is not just a public safety crisis. It is not just a public health emergency. It is something far more dangerous. It is a national security threat.

As attorneys general, we see the devastation up close. In my home state of South Carolina, fentanyl was responsible for more than 70% of overdose deaths in 2023. 

I’ve prosecuted cases where a single operation brought enough fentanyl into our state to kill half a million people.
