The Trump Administration and Congress have worked to increase funding to combat the opioid epidemic, the spread of illicit fentanyl, and the continuing issues with methamphetamine. The HIDTA designation for Josephine County will make additional funds available for federal and local law enforcement to collaborate on reducing the trafficking of illegal drugs. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
