Summarization

Journalists Keri Blakinger and Connor Sheets reported on counterfeit pharmaceuticals in Mexican pharmacies tainted with fentanyl and methamphetamine, prompting a travel alert from the State Department. Law enforcement agencies have failed to alert the public about deadly street drugs like xylazine, with some critics arguing that law enforcement is more interested in making drug arrests than protecting the public. Blakinger has also reported on banned books in prisons and has been praised for her investigative reporting at the LA Times. Social media has been a topic of discussion among journalists, and Blakinger has been praised for her work holding institutions accountable. Religious groups conducting trauma rehabilitation in prisons have been criticized.
