New Mexico AG opens investigation into allegations that DEA let fentanyl flow into the state

New Mexico's Attorney General, Raúl Torrez, has launched a formal investigation into claims that DEA officials allegedly allowed large shipments of fentanyl to enter the state, hoping to track down higher-level suppliers. This move follows reports from the Associated Press and Albuquerque Journal. The investigation is crucial because it scrutinizes whether federal drug enforcement tactics may inadvertently be fueling local drug crises. If proven, this could prompt a reevaluation of federal strategies and highlight the need for more localized, effective responses to the opioid epidemic.
