FAIRFAX, Va. -- Federal officials fanned across the country Friday to spotlight President Trump's decision to declare opioid addiction a public health emergency, vowing to disrupt narcotics networks and the "dark web" marketplace where anyone with a computer can buy deadly drugs from China and Mexico. The Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said its cyber crimes unit in northern Virginia will serve as "ground zero" for probing internet trade routes and bitcoin transactions, so agents and prosecutors can nab traffickers of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is driving fatal overdoses among heroin users. The agency is offering its experts to local and state agencies closest to the epidemic, so they can learn how to track drug rings from an obituary in the local newspaper to middle-men dealers and the foreign traffickers who feed them.

"We're offering this in support of the president's proclamation yesterday. This is an area where we said, 'You know what, this is what we can do now to respond to this.' We're in a good spot to do this, and we want to," said Derek Benner, acting executive associate director for Homeland Security Investigations at ICE. Mr. Trump decision to declare a public health emergency Thursday unlocked new resources for addicts, from expanding the number of treatment beds to augmenting the use of telemedicine to treat rural residents from afar.
