Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) is calling for a criminal investigation of the Drug Enforcement Administration for allowing fentanyl pills to reach New Mexico communities as the agency prioritized larger criminal cases and investigations.

Grisham issued the request on Wednesday after the Associated Press revealed the DEA’s tactics through its investigation. New Mexico’s governor claimed that the decision to purposely allow hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills from entering the state to be used by New Mexico residents contributed to harming many of the state’s residents. The DEA allowed the shipments to continue, refusing to seize them despite knowing about them while pursuing a larger criminal bust against drug traffickers.
