Deadly haul: Fentanyl task force nabs enough in six weeks to kill SF population three times

In its first six weeks of deployment in San Francisco, the California Highway Patrol has seized enough fentanyl to kill all of the city’s population nearly three times over, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced.

Last month, Newsom and city officials launched a law enforcement partnership with the CHP and the California National Guard to combat the sale and distribution of fentanyl in key areas of the city, including the Tenderloin neighborhood.
