DEA Agent Alleges Drug Cover-Up in Albuquerque | Santa Fe News

A DEA agent in Albuquerque has filed a shocking whistleblower complaint alleging that supervisors allowed over 50,000 fentanyl pills and 20+ pounds of meth to slip into New Mexico — following the release of a high-value courier arrested in November 2022. The agent claims it took six months to re-arrest the suspect and faced retaliation, including exclusion from key projects and a forced transfer after being threatened by a supervisor.
