## Resource

A DEA whistleblower has exposed a controversial strategy in New Mexico where fentanyl pills were allegedly allowed to flood streets between 2023 and 2025—not to seize them, but to build bigger trafficking cases. Hundreds of thousands of pills may have been distributed, sparking outrage from grieving families like Christy Chavez, whose son died from an overdose. The DEA initially denied the claims but now seeks an outside investigation, as the agency grapples with public scrutiny over whether its tactics endangered lives in the ongoing opioid crisis.
