Western Wisconsin’s congressman is making the case that problems at the southern border are leading to fentanyl deaths in Wisconsin.
Congressman Derrick Van Orden ended his trip to the southern border yesterday. He went with a group of fellow-Republican lawmakers to see the situation along the Texas side of the border for himself. Van Orden says there is a direct link between the drugs that flow across the border, and deaths in Wisconsin. He says Gundersen Health in La Crosse reported nine overdoses last month alone. He says those should be blamed on the problems at the southern border.
