CalGuard is working with federal, state, and local agencies to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the state, and break up drug-trafficking networks as part of Newsom’s border security and public-safety plan.
March...the task force seized 633 pounds of fentanyl and 268,679 fentanyl pills worth more than $5 million.
During a recent narcotics task force operation in San Bernardino County, officials seized 188 pounds of fentanyl, 16.8 pounds of heroin and 4.4 lbs of cocaine, worth an estimated $1.5 million.

“11.4 Million of fentanyl”...and deposited $4 million worth into the registered evidence lockers. Some may have been mislaid in the operations. Things happen.
Hey. 2 million in confiscated fentanyl is better than nothing.
But, why is this a Guard mission to start with? Asking for a friend...chèers!
Is this just from weekend duty
