The DEA is holding a virtual press conference Tuesday announcing a crackdown on Xylazine, otherwise known as "Tranq," on the streets. Xylazine is a powerful animal tranquilizer that can knock out a cow with only .10ml. Recently, drug dealers have been cutting Xylazine with fentanyl making the combination deadly. This comes as police in Kalamazoo responded to 12 overdose calls and 6 deaths in 24 hours last week.
