Ted Cruz: “More than 2,000 kilos of fentanyl seized. That's up 31%.”

“What rate do you think that that increase has been? I'm going to guess it's got to be significant. 210%. A total of 1,800 gangs and criminal enterprises disrupted. All right, fentanyl. More than 2,000 kilos of fentanyl seized. That's up 31%. That's enough to kill 130 million Americans. There have also been more than 6,000 child victims located. That's an increase of 22%. There have been more than 1,700 child predators arrested.” (06:28–06:33)
