New Mexico AG Sparks Criminal Probe into DEA's Fentanyl Handling
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has opened a criminal probe into the DEA’s handling of fentanyl shipments, seeking to determine whether federal actions contributed to fentanyl reaching streets. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham welcomed the review, and the DOJ said it would partner with state and local leaders to confront the fentanyl crisis, a move that sparked outrage among some officials while drawing support from overdose-family advocates cautioning that enforcement remains essential.
