DEA Under Fire Over Fentanyl Walks

The DEA is under fire after allegations that agents in New Mexico let hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills slip through their fingers between 2023 and 2025—intentionally letting shipments “walk” to build bigger cases. While agency leadership insists this internal review isn’t about doubting agent integrity, current and former agents warn it endangered lives in a state already reeling from the opioid crisis. New Mexico’s governor has demanded a state-level investigation, calling the DEA’s actions reckless and potentially illegal. The Justice Department says they’re focused on dismantling drug networks, not just seizing pills—but the public is demanding accountability.
