Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement on the Senate passage of the Halt All Lethal Trafficking of (HALT) Fentanyl Act:

“The fentanyl crisis has taken far too many innocent lives and has devastated communities across New Mexico and the United States.
