        security in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
        Year 2022.

        with more than 22,000 felony charges reported.
            (3) Operation Lone Star is responsible for the seizure of 
        over 361 million lethal doses of fentanyl.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Operation 
Lone Star has been a tremendous help to stem the tide of illegal 
immigration and its members should be recognized for their efforts.
