Apparently drug dealers with $7 million of fentanyl are not considered dangerous enough criminals in New York to merit bail under the new reform measures signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo:
"6 suspected drug dealers who are accused of running a $7 million fentanyl distribution operation were released w/o bail under the new criminal justice law."
"Supporters in court Wednesday waved their hands in celebration as the 6 walked out."https://t.co/2zw8L2HAFc

Oh, and they’re flight risks. Wonderful. From the NY Post:
The judge ordered them to turn over their passports, as a number of them have connections to the Dominican Republic. They’re all due back in court Feb. 27.

How are you supposed to fight the opioid epidemic when you don’t put drug dealers in jail?
This is how @NYCMayor & @NYCFirstLady are dedicated to fighting the opioid epidemic in the Bronx, by supporting bail reforms that let those who fuel the epidemic walk the streets again after the #NYPD busts them? https://t.co/WRqXNJmguE

New York City, you’re broken:
I am furious at the profound, and profoundly deserved, damage that the New York state legislature has done to bail reform movements. Why would anyone believe no dangerous criminals will be released under such reforms ever again? It's maddening. https://t.co/W14NTw9Mis

Oh, and it gets worse:
The list of what crimes no longer require bail is INSANE.

For example, “Promoting or possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child” is on the list of crimes that “a defendant must be released from custody without bail”:
Possessing or creating child pornography is one of them BTW pic.twitter.com/60uBLJmVN7
