A call for a criminal investigation has been made by New Mexico's governor. This is in response to an investigation by the Associated Press into the Drug Enforcement Administration. The investigation found that federal agents allowed large quantities of fentanyl pills to reach the streets.

This occurred over a two-year period, while the agents were pursuing larger drug-trafficking cases. Further details on this matter are available from the source, including the full findings of the Associated Press investigation and the governor's statement.
