First on Fox – Kentucky Republicans Attorney General Russell Coleman
“On the surface, this looks super technical and bureaucratic, but it is closing the vulnerability,” Coleman told Fox News Digital in an interview on Monday. “And it is closing a vulnerability, and we are receiving a large amount of goods from overseas, especially China, which are under this 86, with little checking. It should be shocking that in this threat environment, there are little checking or no checking.”
Coleman refers to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pilot program, called Category 86, which is intended to simplify the import process of low-value goods, especially those related to e-commerce. But Coleman, along with 24 other Republican attorneys general, said the program’s use “far beyond its initial scope” and “has brought serious concerns about the deadly drug overflow that has entered our country.”

“Last year, we were looking for more than a billion packages,” Coleman said. “In an environment, I’m going to say that we are facing threats that we’ve never had before, and that’s it, this is the wrong environment where we try to raise families and protect families, it’s an environment where a pill can and kill people can and is killing Kentuckians.”
Coleman said they urged the Biden administration to study the program and now they hope Trump administration A letter they sent on Monday will be replied to. Most of the goods come from Mexico And ChinaHe said.
AGS wrote to the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, “Now, the Type 86 entry-level 86 now accounts for 75% of all lowest commodities entering the U.S. and 75% of all goods entering the U.S..” “Any surge in such a range requires further research, especially in the face of potential challenges in our customs enforcement system. It has attracted serious concerns about the proliferation of deadly drugs.”

Coleman said those loopholes in law enforcement and transportation industries already existed, which is unlikely to surprise those who received this information in Washington, and a conversation is underway about the dangers of transporting packages with law enforcement agencies.
“That’s what drug trafficking looks like in the 21st century,” Coleman said. “It looks different from the ‘Breaking Bad’. It looks different from what we saw a decade ago.”
He added: “I am optimistic about the government’s responsiveness.”

Since taking office in January, Trump has taken several steps to combat drug cartels. Trump signed an executive order to designate Mexico’s major drug cartels, including Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) cartels, for foreign terrorist organizations, allowing actions such as frozen assets of individuals or groups supporting these cartels, and enhanced criminal penalties.
