## Resource

New Mexico’s attorney general has launched a criminal probe into the DEA over allegations that federal agents knowingly let hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills flood Albuquerque streets between 2023 and 2025—intentionally avoiding seizures to build bigger cases. This risky strategy, reportedly violating Justice Department protocols, occurred amid the nation’s deadliest drug crisis and while the DEA ran a “One Pill Can Kill” campaign. The AG emphasized that no one is above the law, especially as fentanyl overdoses devastate New Mexico families. The DEA initially denied wrongdoing but now seeks an internal DOJ review and vows to reform, while state officials demand accountability. Some grieving families, however, show understanding, acknowledging law enforcement’s flaws while recognizing the DEA’s ongoing, dangerous efforts to combat the drug epidemic.
