AG Torrez filed lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico against the U.S. DOJ and U.S. AG Blanche seeking records necessary for the New Mexico DOJ investigation into allegations that DEA agents knowingly allowed large  quantities of fentanyl to be distributed in New Mexico. 

"Fentanyl is devasting families across New Mexico, and we deserve to know the truth about the DEA’s practice of allowing that poison to flow into our communities,” said AG Torrez. “Rather than come clean with the public, the United States Department of Justice is once again stonewalling our efforts to get to the bottom of this unconscionable practice, to determine who is responsible for endangering our families and to hold those responsible to account.”
