Under what authority?

Is the emergency authorization he’s been using and saying the imports are bringing in fentanyl somehow applicable here?

Does the fentanyl somehow shoot into my eyes when watching a foreign movie?

Have we just completely stopped the part where we go “hey, that doesn’t seem to be something you have the power to do” and moved fully into the dictator era?
