New Mexico鈥檚 congressional delegation on Thursday called for an explanation after investigative reports that U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents knowingly allowed fentanyl to flood the state鈥檚 streets.

U.S. Reps. Melanie Stansbury, Gabe Vasquez and Teresa Leger Fern谩ndez, all Democrats, called on DEA administrator Terry Cole, who was appointed in July 2025, to provide an immediate briefing on the agency's "latest efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking in New Mexico" after a wiretap investigation conducted in the state.

"Introducing high quantities of fentanyl into communities where drug abuse is prevalent is a highly dangerous and volatile approach," Vasquez said in a statement. "I'm demanding answers from the DEA to understand exactly how this operation went down, who approved it and what results, if any, it yielded."

In a letter sent Thursday to Cole, the three lawmakers asked the DEA to answer a series of questions within 30 days, including how many arrests were made in New Mexico and how the agency justifies allowing drugs to enter the state.

The delegation also asked whether DEA agents remain in New Mexico and whether the agency has taken any action in response to a recent whistleblower complaint about the DEA allowing hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to flow through the state without seizure, among other questions.

"The law enforcement technology and drug interdiction resources our delegation has supported for years are meant to stop fentanyl from reaching our families 鈥� not let it through,鈥� Leger Fern谩ndez said. 鈥淣ew Mexicans deserve answers."

The request comes a day after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said she had asked Attorney General Ra煤l Torrez to investigate whether federal agents violated state laws by allowing fentanyl to remain on the streets.

New Mexico officials at every level of government have since demanded answers from the DEA about its decision to "walk" fentanyl as part of a statewide drug investigation.

Stansbury, joined by New Mexico House Speaker Javier Mart铆nez, held a virtual news conference Thursday to announce plans to ask members of Congress and the House Oversight Committee to investigate what she called a "gut punch." Mart铆nez said he was not surprised.

"I was not shocked," he said. "This is a classic textbook case of a failed war on drugs. When you hear folks peddle 'all crime, all the time,' remember where some of these real sources of crime are coming from. And in this case, it might have been the federal government."

During the news conference, Stansbury said nearly every New Mexican has been affected by the opioid crisis, including her own family. She said she lost a family member to a fentanyl overdose in the spring of 2025.

鈥淚 myself have lost multiple family members and friends to the opioid crisis, and I can't even wrap my mind around the idea that federal law enforcement may have been responsible for some of the pills that hit the streets in New Mexico,鈥� she said.
