It has become a leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 18 and 45. Most illicitly manufactured fentanyl found in the United States is being manufactured with raw chemical precursors from the People’s Republic of China, trafficked through Mexico, and funneled into the United States between ports of entry along the United States-Mexico border.
