Citing rising overdose deaths, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado, is seeking to have fentanyl classified as a weapon of mass destruction.

“Back home in Colorado, almost everyone I talk to knows someone who has died from fentanyl,” Boebert said in a statement. “Fentanyl is America’s silent killer and is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. The saddest thing about the fentanyl crisis is that it is preventable.”

Boebert added that the vast majority of fentanyl in the U.S. comes across the Southern border, and border patrol agents seized enough fentanyl last year to kill every American seven times over.
