New Mexico Demands Accountability Over Fentanyl Walks

New Mexico officials are furious over the DEA’s alleged role in letting hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills flood the state since 2023, calling the tactic “reckless and dangerous” and demanding federal investigation. Governor Lujan Grisham, Mayor Keller, and Sheriff Allen accuse federal agents of prioritizing big busts over public safety, with Allen refusing to let his deputies participate in such “walking” operations. Overdose deaths in New Mexico have surged 23% while nationally they’ve dropped, fueling outrage. A whistleblower claims DEA agents were punished for trying to stop fentanyl, sparking a national call for DOJ review. State leaders insist no community should be collateral damage in the war on drugs — lives are too precious to gamble with. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
