| Attorney General Pam Bondi spoke about a Justice Department's seizure of fentanyl shipments over the July 4th holiday weekend during a press conference in Washington, D.C. During the nearly 25-minute event, Attorney General Bondi was also asked about the Trump administration's recent decision to close an investigation into the case of Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| Good afternoon and welcome to DEA. | ||
| My name is Robert Murphy, the Acting Administrator for the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. | ||
| On behalf of the men and women of DEA, I'm privileged to stand here today alongside the Attorney General of the United States, whose leadership, support, and unwavering commitment to public safety has been instrumental in DEA carrying out its vital mission. | ||
| It is an honor to introduce the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi. | ||
| Thank you all for being here today. | ||
| This is so important why we're here today. | ||
| Acting Administrator Murphy, thank you for everything you do. | ||
| We've been to DEA labs together. | ||
| You have been fighting this every day, and I can't thank you enough. | ||
| It's been an incredible few weeks for the DEA nationwide. | ||
| We're here today to announce the historic success through Operation Take Back America. | ||
| We should remember why this work matters. | ||
| We're honored today to be here with Chelsea Curtis. | ||
| She is a brave sister. | ||
| She lost two of her brothers to drug overdoses. | ||
| One to heroin and her second brother, she lost to cocaine that was laced with fentanyl. | ||
| Chelsea works with us here at the Department of Justice. | ||
| And she's in the District of Virginia, and she does amazing work, and she is paying it forward by looking out for other victims and their families and fighting this epidemic throughout our country. | ||
| Thank you, Chelsea, for being here with us. | ||
| Over the 4th of July weekend, DEA agents executed successful operations throughout this country. | ||
| One in Columbia, South Carolina, where they seized 71 kilos of fentanyl and 20 kilos of methamphetamine. | ||
| This is near, very near, the University of South Carolina, where dealers we all know often target college kids. | ||
| They put these drugs in pill forms to go after our kids. | ||
| This includes a seizure in Fresno, California, also 4th of July weekend. | ||
| Acting Director Murphy is going to get into details about these, but this is why this is so important. | ||
| And this is something new that I hadn't seen. | ||
| 24 pounds of carfentanol disguised as real prescription pills. | ||
| Carfentanol, we all know, is even stronger than fentanyl. | ||
| They often call it the elephant tranquilizer. | ||
| And it was carfentanol in prescription pills to look like oxycodone. | ||
| That should terrify every parent in this country. | ||
| In many cases, illegal aliens are doing the work of cartels in our communities. | ||
| In one recent example, just two weeks ago, the DEA arrested an illegal alien. | ||
