LAS VEGAS, Nev. <\/strong>\u2013 U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) are announcing that Nevada law enforcement will receive more than $3.4 million in federal funding to crack down on illicit drug trafficking and help address the overdose epidemic. These federal funds come from the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program, which helps federal, state, local, and Tribal law enforcement seize illegal drugs like fentanyl, reduce violent crime, improve data sharing to arrest traffickers, and dismantle money laundering organizations. Both Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen were part of a bipartisan group of Senators who pushed for funding<\/a> for the HIDTA Program last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToo many Nevadans have lost their lives to fatal overdoses,\u201d said Senator Cortez Masto.<\/strong> \u201cThis federal funding will support our local HIDTA team as they work to crack down on drug trafficking and keep our families safe. I\u2019ll continue working to ensure our law enforcement is receiving the tools and resources they need to combat this epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDrug trafficking and the flow of illicit fentanyl into the United States are fueling an overdose crisis across Nevada,\u201d said Senator Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m working across the aisle to secure our border, stop the flow of fentanyl, and support law enforcement to keep our communities safe. I\u2019m glad to announce more than $3.4 million in federal funding that will help law enforcement in Nevada improve their operations and fight drug trafficking in our state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Cortez Masto has been working to crack down on illicit drugs since she was Nevada\u2019s Attorney General<\/a>, when she worked with <\/a>law enforcement<\/a> and Mexican officials<\/a> to combat the rise of methamphetamine manufacturing and cross-border drug trafficking. Both Senator Cortez Masto and Senator Rosen have consistently worked across the aisle to support law enforcement and stop the flow of illicit drugs. They helped pass the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act<\/em><\/a>, which was signed into law last month to help combat fentanyl trafficking. Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen have also pushed for additional funding<\/a> to secure the border and stop the flow of fentanyl. Earlier this year, Rosen\u2019s bipartisan END FENTANYL Act<\/em><\/a> was signed into law to help crack down on drug smuggling by requiring the Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to update its drug interdiction guidance to ensure it is up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
