National Guard deployed to San Francisco to combat fentanyl trafficking.

Governor Gavin Newsom has directed the state National Guard and California Highway Patrol to join San Francisco's efforts to fight fentanyl trafficking. The state will expand its law enforcement presence around the city to mitigate crimes linked to the fentanyl epidemic and reduce the number of overdoses. However, the plan is met with mixed reactions, with some saying that no amount of law enforcement will solve the public health crisis, while others are grateful for the announcement.
