New Mexico Demands DEA Fentanyl Records | Santa Fe News

New Mexico’s DOJ is demanding answers from the DEA over alleged failures to stop fentanyl shipments that killed hundreds—despite nationwide declines in overdose deaths. A whistleblower claims agents knowingly let millions of pills flood the state between 2023 and 2025 as a strategy to catch bigger traffickers, including a notorious June 2023 delivery of 74,000 pills in Albuquerque that went unchallenged. The state’s sweeping request seeks all DEA fentanyl-related records from 2022–2025, plus internal policy changes that relaxed seizure rules in 2024. With 30 days to respond—or face legal action—the state is sending a stark message: lives are at stake, and accountability is non-negotiable.
