Parents are being warned that a new pill which contains the deadly fentanyl drug are making its rounds to children disguised as candy, or ‘rainbow’ pills. Terrifyingly, the cartels and drug makers continue to be emboldened and clever in harming our youth.

Customs and Border Patrol Port Director Michael Humphries tweeted a photo of the colorful and enticing looking pills with the caption:

“CBP officers at the Nogales POE discovered a new version of ‘rainbow’ fentanyl pills not encountered before. Approx 413,000 fentanyl pills were seized. 44,000 of those had the rainbow colors combined ini each pill. 7.4 lbs fentanyl powder,14.4 lbs heroin was also seized.”

The photo shows how quickly the deadly pill can be found on our streets, compared to another photo and tweet by Humphries just one month ago. On September 3rd, the seized rainbow pills were individually colored; not mixed as the latest pill demonstrates.

“One 9/3, CBP Officers at the Nogales POE seized: Approx. 47,000 rainbow-colored fentanyl pills, 186,000 blue fentanyl pills, and 6.5 pounds of meth hidden in a floor compartment of a vehicle” Humphries tweeted. “Also on 9/3, CBP officers seized 84 lbs. of meth concealed ini the gas tank of a vehicle” the tweet continued.

BREAKING: Senate votes down both articles of impeachment against Mayorkas in party-line vote

Mayorkas

The Senate voted down two articles of impeachment Wednesday which alleged Department of Homeland Security Secretary  Alejandro Mayorkas engaged in the “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” regarding the southern border in his capacity as DHS secretary. The second claimed Mayorkas had breached public trust.

What resulted in a party-line vote, began with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., proposing a point of order declaring the first article unconstitutional, to which the majority of senators agreed following several failed motions by Republicans. The article was deemed unconstitutional by a vote of 51-48, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voting present.

Fox News reports:

Schumer’s point of order was proposed after his request for unanimous consent, which would have provided a set amount of time for debate among the senators, as well as votes on two GOP resolutions and a set amount of agreed upon points of order, was objected to by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo.

Schmitt stated in his objection that the Senate should conduct a full trial into the impeachment articles against Mayorkas, rather than the debate and points of order suggested by Schumer’s unanimous consent request, which would be followed by a likely successful motion to dismiss the articles. 

Republican senators took issue with Schumer’s point of order, as agreeing to it would effectively kill the first of the two articles. Several GOP lawmakers proposed motions, which took precedence over the point of order, to adjourn or table the point, among other things. But all GOP motions failed. 

After another batch of motions to avoid voting on Schumer’s second point of order, which would deem the second article unconstitutional, the Senate agreed to it. The vote was along party lines 51-49, with Murkowski rejoining the Republicans.
