New Mexico Governor Accuses DEA of Inaction | Santa Fe News

New Mexico’s governor is accusing the DEA of deliberately letting hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills flood the state, citing whistleblower reports that detail massive shipments—including one with 74,000 pills headed to an Albuquerque mobile home park—intentionally left unseized. The state’s Attorney General has launched a formal investigation into whether this violates New Mexico law, exploring potential criminal or civil action despite federal protections for DEA agents. The governor, who has repeatedly called for more federal resources since 2022, argues that lives shouldn’t be sacrificed for federal strategy, as New Mexico grapples with a deadly overdose epidemic and has declared a public health emergency.
