1.4 million pills is nothing. 70,000 people died of a fentanyl overdose in 2021 and they weren't all taking a just two pills and that's it.

But sure, let's highlight that it was a Mexican national. Let's not talk about how most of the Fentanyl enters the U.S.

I don't get what you are trying to communicate.
If that's nothing for you than that's only your opinion.
All the department of justice press releases follow the same format in relation to nationalities, if you read in the website you will find them mentioning even the state of which the person is from if he is American.
Good job not reading my links.
Sigh, good job spitting links instead of facts.
There were facts in the links you didn't read.
I guess you are a troll, I already explained to you why they mention his nationality and that the number of pills is high in general, if you consider it insignificant, then that is only your opinion here.
You can accuse me of being a troll, but that doesn't mean that there weren't facts in the links you didn't read.
I'm sorry you don't like that, but it's still the case.
