Jaime Puerta, father of a son lost to fentanyl poisoning two years ago, joined 'The Story' Friday to report on the dangers of illicit fentanyl disguised in candy-like capsules seized at the southern border. 

JAIME PUERTA: Good afternoon, Trace. First and foremost, thank you so much for having me on your program again. In 2020, we had 94,000, approximately 94 and a half thousand drug deaths in the United States. 70% of those were all attributed to fentanyl poisoning.
