超过一磅的芬太尼在美国边境被查获，来源于加拿大

就在加拿大任命芬太尼事务专员以应对跨境贩运的几天后，美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）官员在西雅图截获了一批含有超过一磅芬太尼的货物。

Just days after Canada appointed a fentanyl czar to address cross-border trafficking, United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Seattle intercepted a shipment containing more than a pound of fentanyl.

西雅图海关官员在周三发布的新闻声明中表示，这批毒品是在一次针对性的执法行动中于一个货运设施内被查获的。执法人员在塑料袋中发现了一种棕色岩石状物质，进一步检测确认其中含有芬太尼。

Seattle customs officials announced the seizure Wednesday in a media release stating the drug was seized during a targeted enforcement operation at a shipping facility. Officers discovered a brown rock-like substance in plastic bags and further testing determined the substance contained fentanyl.

美国海关官员称，其中一个芬太尼包裹的来源地是加拿大。

One of the fentanyl packages originated in Canada, U.S. customs officials said.

“芬太尼是一种极其危险的合成毒品，正在侵蚀我们的社区。”西雅图CBP区域港口主任Rene Ortega表示。

“Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous synthetic drug that plagues our communities,” said Rene Ortega, the CBP area port director for Seattle.

“CBP采用多种手段来维护国家安全。对货运设施的精准执法行动，有助于防止危险毒品和合成药物进入我们的街头和社区。”

“CBP uses a variety of techniques to keep our nation safe. Targeted operations in shipping facilities help keep dangerous narcotics and synthetic drugs off our streets and out of our communities.”

此次缉获行动发生之际，加拿大刚刚宣布设立芬太尼事务专员，旨在应对日益严峻的毒品危机，并打击毒品贩运，特别是针对美国的毒品走私。而与此同时，美国总统Donald Trump持续向加拿大施压，要求其加强管控。

The seizure follows Canada’s recent announcement of a dedicated fentanyl czar, a move aimed at addressing the growing crisis and cracking down on drug trafficking, particularly to the U.S. as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to pressure Canada to tighten its controls.
