NEW MEXICO (KRQE) Senator Martin Heinrich is pushing a bipartisan bill aimed at making it easier to stop fentanyl trafficking. The New Mexico Democrat, alongside Republicans Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), has introduced the Halt Fentanyl Act, which would permanently classify fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule One drug.
