This Week in South Florida: Local 10 News special report on fentanyl operations at southern US border

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. ā€“ Last week marked the first ever National Fentanyl Awareness Day.

More than half of all fatal drug overdoses involve fentanyl.

South Florida is an epicenter for the drug. A recent mass-overdose case involving Spring Breakers in Wilton Manors made national headlines.

Much of the fentanyl that enters the United States comes over the Southern Border with Mexico.

Local 10 Newsā€™ Janine Stanwood and photojournalist Jason Writzman went to the border where they received unusual, up-close access with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents, and what they were able to document was must-see.

Stanwood filed a remarkable report and spoke with This Week in South Florida host Glenna Milberg to discuss what she saw while at the border.
