House Republicans probe DEA for allowing fentanyl to flood streets

In the United States, House Republicans are investigating the DEA's controversial strategy that allowed large shipments of fentanyl to reach the streets. This tactic, which involved monitoring but not seizing shipments, has raised concerns, especially in New Mexico, where the fentanyl crisis is severe. Whistleblowers have reported being instructed to refrain from seizing significant quantities of fentanyl, prompting a lawsuit from the state's attorney general against the Justice Department for records related to these actions.
