Big piece of this is paragraph 2 referenced, which reads:

“(2) FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES.—The facts or circumstances described in this paragraph are any facts or circumstances establishing that a crime is being or has already been committed involving—

“(A) creating, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possession with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense—

“(i) fentanyl; or
