New Mexico governor says state could seek billions after DEA let fentanyl hit streets

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the state may pursue civil damages after revelations that DEA agents allowed fentanyl shipments into communities to build larger drug cases. The state's attorney general has launched a criminal investigation into whether federal officials violated state law by exposing residents to the synthetic opioid. Overdoses have surged in New Mexico despite declining fentanyl deaths in other states.
