The Drug Enforcement Administration has made a request to the US Justice Department's internal watchdog. This request is for an investigation into claims made by a whistleblower. The claims involve DEA agents and their alleged role in allowing fentanyl pills to enter the streets of New Mexico.

The request was made on Thursday, following a report by the Associated Press. Details of the situation are limited, but it is known that the whistleblower's claims involve hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills. Further information on this developing story can be found through KSAT 12, a local news source in San Antonio.
