Washington – The Senate was preparing to give a final approval to a bill on Friday, resulting in harsh gel punishment for Phentineel trafficers as both Republicans and Democrats want to show that they can work to curb the distribution of fatal drugs.
Bill has already passed the House and has raised Democratic support in the Senate, many people at the party show that Phantaneel is eager to focus on distribution after one election in which Republican Donald Trump stopped the problem. The House Republican passed a similar bill in 2023 with joining the support of dozens of Democrats, but it was closed in the Democratic-Agered Senate.
Critics say the proposal repeats the mistakes of the so -called “war on drugs”, which imprisoned millions of people, especially those accustomed to drugs, black Americans.
Now, with Republican in the control of the Senate, the majority leader John Thyun has given priority to the law, making it one of the initial bills to send Trump for his signature. The President has indicated that he will sign it.
Thyun said that this week the law gives an important tool to go to criminals after bringing this poison to law enforcement in our country and selling it on our streets. “
Called the Halt Phentenele Act, the bill will permanently keep all copycat versions of Fentenile – the changes of the drug that are often sold by the trafficers – the US drug enforcement administration list in the list of most dangerous drugs in the administration, known as schedule 1. Drugs were already temporarily placed in the list since 2018, but this designation was determined. The move means according to the Congress budget office, criminal culprits will increase to distribute Phantenile-related substances.
The law also makes it easier to research drugs.
Bill last month passed the representative with 98 Democrats and every Republican in support of Thomas Massi of Kentki. In the Senate, most Democrats have supported the push to bring it to the last route. Law enforcement groups have also supported the bill.
“This is bipartisan, because, clearly, Phantenile is a bipartisan problem,” Sen Bill Cassidi, Louisiana Republican said, who sponsored the bill.
In the Congress, both Democrats and Republicans have agreed to try to stop the flow of Fentanile in the United States, where it is convicted for thousands of overdose deaths every year. Trump has stated that stopping the illegal flow of Phantanelle is one of the top goals of tariff threats against Mexico, Canada and China again.
But some progressive Democrats said that the opportunity to focus on dealing with the basic causes of bill addiction or preventing medicine from entering America was missing.
Massachusetts Democrats, Sen Ed Mark said in a statement that support for the bill was to “enabling a political stunt at the expense of real solutions.”
The bill “will actually reduce the phentineyl crisis greatly to solve the crisis, but instead of treating addiction, rather than overdose drug addiction, to remove drug addiction, and to disrupt communities, and to disrupt the flow of Phantenile in the United States, to work in ways working in ways working in ways working in ways working in ways working in ways working in ways Will make it difficult. “
According to the US punishment commission, in 2023, there was an average prison sentence for those guilty of smuggling drugs smuggled in 2023. The convicts were about 60% black, 23% were Hispanic and 16% were white.
