TUCSON, Ariz. — As she put up a poster of people who were lost to fentanyl, Kira Moore-Rendon’s gaze was on the picture of her son Jacob Rendon. He was just one in a sea of people’s pictures who died due to fentanyl.
He was only 24 years old when he died from a fentanyl overdose in 2021. His family tried reviving him with NARCAN, the opioid-reversing medicine, but after several tries, they couldn’t. Jacob is just one of the almost 1,500 people who died due to fentanyl in Pima County from 2017 to 2024. In total, over $850 million is going towards border patrol and the border’s infrastructure and additional money is going towards supporting and hiring people who work on the border.
