Latest fact check

I was unable to access the primary DHS/CBP source documents needed to verify the exact drug seizure figures for December 2025 due to repeated timeouts and access issues with key pages, so I cannot currently confirm or refute the specific quantities claimed.

The verdict is Tech Error because technical access problems prevented checking the authoritative data that would determine whether CBP indeed reported 39,030 pounds of illicit drugs and 865 pounds of fentanyl seized nationwide in December 2025.
