Marjorie Taylor Greene knows how to deal with the press.

Reporter: "Most fentanyl comes across the border from people who are US citizens, not immigrants."

MTG: "What's your proof? Because that's not what we've been shown by border patrol."

Reporter: "From the CATO Institute"

YUMA, Ariz. — Last month, a federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment against a man for his alleged involvement in importation of fentanyl into the United States from Mexico and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl following an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Edwin Francisco Cubillas, 27, of Mexico, was indicted Oct. 25 for his attempt to enter the United States through the San Luis, Arizona, port of entry, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered 16 packages containing circular, blue pills that tested positive for fentanyl hidden in Cubillas’ car. The packages’ combined weight exceeded 71 pounds.

A conviction for each of the charged offenses carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $10 million fine.
