WASHINGTON – In case you missed it, Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has been advocating for her bipartisan Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act, which she introduced alongside Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.). As members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, their bipartisan effort utilizes the tools of the Department of Defense (DoD) and involves Mexico as an active partner to combat the national security threat of illicit fentanyl trafficking and disrupt Mexican cartel activity.

The senators joined Bret Baier’s Common Ground segment on Fox News to discuss their bipartisan legislation.
