us-cracks-down-on-india-based-fentanyl-network

The issue of illegal fentanyl remains one of the most prominent causes of death among Americans, with secret operations conducted through underground websites such as the India-based KS International Traders being at the centre of the problem. This specific group has been instrumental in supplying America with several hundred thousand counterfeit pills. These pills contain dangerous levels of fentanyl that have found their way into the hands of innocent victims.

 

The implementation of visa sanctions against the 13 people involved in this issue is a strategic move by the Department of State as a solution to this problem. The organisation has conducted all its business operations through the trafficking of synthetic fentanyl, which has been classified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction through Executive Order 14367. This strategy has been implemented through Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

 

This new round of clampdowns underscores the united resolve of the US and India in taking down the structure of the illicit drug trade. By taking out the organisations profiting from these lethal drugs, the US and India aim to weaken the organisations that threaten their security. This is the strong message being conveyed by the administration: Individuals involved in the process of poisoning Americans will not be allowed into the US anymore.
