2019-05-14 | Justice Dept. says FDA lacks jurisdiction to regulate drugs in executions | TheHill

'The Justice Department said in a legal opinion Tuesday that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not have jurisdiction over drugs used in lethal injections. '

'The Justice Department’s legal opinion sides with Texas in the suit, though it is unclear if it will have immediate impact. '

'The FDA said the importation was illegal because the drug was not approved in the U.S. and was mislabeled. '

'Texas officially filed suit in 2017, shortly before Trump took office, saying the FDA was meddling in its law enforcement obligations. '

'The FDA has been operating under a 2012 court injunction prohibiting the drug, sodium thiopental, from being imported. '
