Leavitt Exposes Washington Post’s ‘Mysterious’ Headline in Front of Everyone [WATCH]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday pushed back sharply against a headline from The Washington Post suggesting that the significant drop in fentanyl seizures at the southern border is “something of a mystery.”

Leavitt dismissed the framing, crediting the Trump administration’s strict border enforcement policies for the decline and accusing the outlet of intentionally misleading the public.

The report from The Washington Post noted a dramatic decrease in fentanyl seizures by U.S. authorities in recent months.

The article stated, “After years of confiscating rising amounts of fentanyl, the opioid that has fueled the most lethal drug epidemic in American history, U.S. officials are confronting a new and puzzling reality at the Mexican border. Fentanyl seizures are plummeting.”

According to data from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), law enforcement seizures of fentanyl have dropped by 50% since the November election.

The group characterizes fentanyl seizures as a “key indicator of broader total smuggling at and between the southern border’s ports of entry,” and suggested that the steep decline signals a broader reduction in total fentanyl trafficking.

The Trump administration has consistently pointed to border security as central to its strategy to combat the flow of illegal narcotics, particularly fentanyl, which has been a major contributor to overdose deaths nationwide.

CIS attributed the reduction in fentanyl seizures to the increased security and enforcement efforts implemented under President Trump’s leadership.

Leavitt addressed the Washington Post article during a White House press briefing, holding up a copy of the headline and calling it “one of the most ridiculous headlines ever…even by their standards.”

“There is no mystery about why there is a decrease of fentanyl coming into the United States,” Leavitt said.

“This Administration’s strong border policies are the reason there has been a decrease in fentanyl trafficking.”

She criticized the outlet for failing to include information the administration had already provided to explain the decline.

“We gave the Washington Post a whole host of reasons for the decrease,” Leavitt said.

“The Washington Post refused to run them, and that’s despicable.”

Leavitt also accused the outlet of attempting to “manipulate the minds of Americans,” stating that the cause of the fentanyl drop should be clear to anyone following recent policy changes.

“I think they know what the real reason is,” she said, urging the Washington Post to “update their headline accordingly.”

The Washington Post article speculated on alternative reasons for the decline, including internal disruptions among drug cartels, shortages of precursor chemicals, and a possible reduction in demand for fentanyl.

The outlet also suggested that upcoming budget changes could affect public health programs, prompting concern from health officials.

However, critics argue that the article downplayed the impact of increased border security under the Trump administration.

The administration has made border enforcement a cornerstone of its policy, including increased barriers, expanded patrols, and stricter immigration controls.

The sharp drop in fentanyl seizures follows a broader trend of decreased illegal border crossings since President Trump returned to office.

Border Patrol and ICE officials have credited the administration’s policies with reducing illegal activity and restoring order along the U.S.-Mexico border.

As of June, no significant change has been reported in domestic fentanyl overdose rates, but officials say continued reductions in cross-border trafficking are critical to addressing the ongoing opioid crisis.

Administration officials have emphasized the need to maintain strong enforcement measures and to ensure that future policy does not reverse recent gains.

Despite the data and law enforcement statements, criticism remains over how certain media outlets frame developments at the border.

Leavitt’s remarks reflect broader concerns within the administration that the successes of recent policies are being downplayed or distorted by major news organizations.
