(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Two drug traffickers from Washington State were released after being arrested in California with 150,000 fentanyl pills in their possession—enough to kill millions.
According to BizPac Review, two illegal immigrants, Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19, were arrested during what started as a traffic stop and ended as a drugs bust in Tulare, California. The perps were booked into the Tulare County Pre-Trial Facility on charges of possession, transportation and selling of illegal drugs.
However, after they were arrested, the sheriff’s office received a court order to release both suspects from custody.
NEW: The two men who were arrested with 150,000 fentanyl pills in Tulare, CA on Friday have been released from custody on their own recognizance as a result of a court order from a judge following a “risk assessment”. The Sheriff “strongly disagrees” with their release. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/KIdIQNCTR9

“All inmates booked into Tulare County jails are sent through what is known as the Risk Assessment Process through the Tulare County Probation Department,” the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office commented in a surprising development.
“That ‘Risk Assessment’ is then sent to a judge with the court, who, then, determines whether or not the individual arrested is held on bail or if they are to be released,”
Sheriff Mark Boudreaux was not pleased to let the traffickers go, as he is gravely concerned for the public’s safety. However, he is being forced to comply with the order.
Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid known for its potency, is being smuggled across President Joe Biden’s open southern border in record rates. There have recently been several large drug busts where police have found massive amounts of fentanyl.
It is unclear why the drug traffickers were released so soon after their arrest. It is also unclear whether or not they will be charged with any crime.
Same! Just keep voting those who are destroying them right back in 🤷♀️
