California's highway patrol and national guard will bring in additional people and resources to help San Francisco battle its worsening fentanyl drug crisis, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday.
The announcement highlights a serious concern in the city where Newsom was once mayor. Overdose deaths have soared, and authorities have been unable to stop rampant open-air drug dealing and use.
The news was welcomed by San Francisco Mayor London Breed, the district attorney's office and the police chief, who have all vowed to get tough on large-scale drug traffickers.
