Governor Accuses DEA of Inaction on Fentanyl | Santa Fe News

New Mexico’s governor is accusing the DEA of knowingly letting millions of fentanyl pills flood the state, claiming agents tracked and counted shipments but chose not to seize them—putting lives at risk. Backed by a whistleblower complaint, she calls the strategy reckless and says New Mexicans shouldn’t be collateral damage. The Attorney General has launched a probe into possible state law violations, though federal protections under the Supremacy Clause could block prosecution. Meanwhile, the governor says she’s been pleading for federal help since 2022, with this latest accusation adding urgency to her plea for more resources to combat the deadly crisis.
