White House Slams Washington Post Over Fentanyl Seizure Headline

Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, slammed the Washington Post's headline about the "mysterious drop" in fentanyl seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border on June 3, 2025. She stated, "This is clearly trying to intentionally manipulate the minds of Americans." Leavitt attributed the decrease to President Trump's policies, emphasizing his strengthened relationship with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and measures to deter illegal human and drug trafficking. The Washington Post headline, "The mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border," prompted Leavitt's response. She argued that there's no mystery and that the drop is a direct result of the current administration's border security initiatives. The incident underscores the ongoing political debate about immigration and border control policies in the United States.
