More than 10,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized by Border Patrol agents so far this year.\u00a0Drug CartelsThe DEA released a report last January tracking the origins of fentanyl-laced prescription pills. It said the Mexican pill factories were operated by or with the consent of two transnational criminal organizations: the Sinaloa drug cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.\u00a0The cartels import fentanyl or its components \u2013 typically from China or India. Factories in Mexico assemble the pills and sell them online or carry them across the border.\u00a0The DEA says cartels are making the pills strong to get their customers even more addicted than they would be to other opioids.Sean Rayford\/Stringer\/Getty Images3) Dave Chappelle Special Sparks ControversyThe Topline: Comedian Dave Chappelle is no stranger to controversy, but none of his previous stand-up specials created the same firestorm as his latest Netflix release, \u201cThe Closer.\u201dChappelleChappelle\u2019s jokes poking fun at the transgender movement have drawn the ire of LGBT groups, and some activists are demanding Netflix remove Chappelle\u2019s special from its platform.\u00a0In his show, Chappelle essentially said gender is real, and it\u2019s a biological fact that males and females are biologically different.In the midst of negative media attention, Chappelle performed a sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl with A-List stars like Brad Pitt, Tiffany Haddish, Jon Hamm, and Stevie Wonder in the audience. He finished the show by saying, \u201cIf this is what being canceled is like, I love it.\u201dNetflix\u00a0From an investment standpoint, the special is drawing huge audiences, but it\u2019s also been a rolling public relations nightmare for Netflix.A transgender showrunner for the show \u201cDear White People\u201d announced they were boycotting the platform going forward, which caused some bad press.A Netflix employee was suspended after condemning the company for allowing Chappelle to \u201c[attack] the trans community\u2026\u201d\u00a0Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos issued a memo saying the company would not bow to calls to remove Chappelle\u2019s special, even if high-level talent joined the outcry.He said while Netflix has a policy against content that incites hate or violence, he doesn\u2019t believe Chappelle\u2019s show crossed that line and stand-up comedy \u201cexists to push boundaries.\u201dOn Monday, GLAAD issued a statement saying Netflix needs to live up to its publicized standards against inciting hate and violence, which could mean they want the company to pull the show, as well.\u00a0Patrick T.
