BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. FEDORCHAK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the HALT Fentanyl Act.

In North Dakota, my State, we are known for our tight-knit communities where people look out for one another, but even in my State, illicit fentanyl is smuggled in, stealing innocent lives and leaving families shattered.

North Dakota law enforcement says record amounts of fentanyl are pouring into our State. What is most disturbing is how traffickers are targeting our kids. They are poisoning our children. We must pass the HALT Fentanyl Act to permanently give law enforcement the tools they need.

This will punish traffickers who play a dangerous game of tweaking formulas to stay one step ahead of the law.

The American people have trusted us to fix the mess created by the Biden administration's open-border policies. For every devastated family and every community on the front lines of this crisis, we must act.

Mr. Speaker, this is not a partisan issue. It is an important part of the solution, and it is the right thing to do. Let's pass H.R. 27.
