Drug traffickers arrested in California with 150,000 fentanyl pills released after just days in jail

[FoxNews] Two drug traffickers in California who were arrested last week for being in possession of 150,000 fentanyl pills — enough to kill millions of people — were released back onto the streets, officials said.

Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19, both from Washington, were arrested during a traffic stop-turned-drug bust in Tulare on Friday. They were booked into the Tulare County Pre-Trial Facility on charges of possession, transportation and selling of illegal drugs, officials said.

In a surprising twist of events, the two inmates were released just days later.

"The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office received a court order to release both suspects from custody on their own recognizance," officials said.

"All inmates booked into Tulare County jails are sent through what is known as the Risk Assessment Process through the Tulare County Probation Department. 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," The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office added.

Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said he strongly disagrees with the decision to release the traffickers, citing public safety concerns, but said his office was forced to comply with the court order.

#2 Their release was imminent. They had signed a legal affidavit indicating that they had NEVER voted for Trump.

#6 Open borders and fentanyl, massive overburdening of our social support network. hospitals, criminal justice system and schools. We are being destroyed as a nation by the CCP and the corruption they own in DC. Not a shot fired but it is intentional warfare by other means. I know it, you know it and Washington knows it, but the levers of power are locked in the hands of their clients in the Deep State and the Demokrat Puppet Show. The easy fixes have long since passed, while we all stood on the walls dealing with the outside threats, secure in naive belief that home was safe, blind to the enemy within. The fix options now require a determination, vision and patient toughness I just don't see in the flotsam and jetsam walking around these days.

#7 If the CCP would deliberately and knowingly flood our country with deadly narcotics I think we can assume they would not hesitate to release a deadly virus regardless of the effect it has on their own population. After all, they can afford to lose a million people and they have proven they have no regard for human life. We don't have the smoking gun to prove that COVID-19 was the deliberate release of a bio-weapon but fentanyl proves that Chinese communists are the kind of murderous thugs who would do such a thing.

Then we can move on to our own politicians and corporate officials who think it's OK to do business with China. The logical conclusion must be that they are no better than the CCP.

As for the 150,000 fentanyl pills, they are like so many droplets in a barrel. Addicts will still be able to score without trouble and without any price increase. This arrest is merely a show, just a little breakage if you will, to make it look like our government is doing something about this crisis other than taking payoffs from the cartels and the CCP.
