U.S. Attorney for Colorado Jason R. Dunn has expressed his support for a Philadelphia-based appeals courtâs decision deeming supervised injection sites unlawful.
âI commend and agree with the federal appellate courtâs decision finding that facilities opened with the purpose of having visitors use heroin and fentanyl are doing so in violation of federal law,â Dunn said in a Jan. 13 statement. âAs I have said previously, the idea of a government sponsored drug house is an anathema to the principle that governmentâs primary duty is to do no harm.â
