A criminal investigation has been launched in New Mexico to examine the actions of US Drug Enforcement Administration agents. The probe aims to determine if these agents violated state law by permitting large quantities of fentanyl to be distributed on the streets of Albuquerque. The investigation was initiated by New Mexico's attorney general and is a significant development.

It began less than a week after a related incident, although details of this incident are not specified here. For further information on this investigation, readers can refer to the original report from KPRC 2 Houston, which provides more context and details about the situation in New Mexico.
