The Biden Administration Is at the Center of a Massive Fentanyl Trafficking Scandal

The DEA, under President Joe Biden’s leadership, is at the center of a
jaw-dropping "drugwalking" scandal that revealed the agency allowed 1.8
million fentanyl pills to be delivered, a move that a whistleblower says
“100 percent got people killed.”

According to a new report from the Associate Press, DEA investigators
based out of New Mexico had allowed for illegal drugs to enter the
United States unimpeded in order to “gather intelligence.” 

A 2023 investigation into a trailer park revealed a delivery of
approximately 74,000 highly dangerous fentanyl pills from drug
traffickers. Federal investigators had observed a similar transaction
take place just days before and, according to DEA agent whistleblower
David Howell, authorities “did nothing but sit back and watch.” Howell
also stated that federal agents observed separate deliveries totaling
200,000 pills in early 2024, but did nothing. 

“We poisoned our community to make cases,” Howell told the Associated
Press. “Through our own willful blindness, we get to say, ‘We don’t
really know what happened to the drugs.’ But we 100% got people killed.” 

The practice ultimately led to an estimated 1.8 million pills being
trafficked without interference. An unnamed federal source has suggested
that the number may be far higher, however, stating that “millions” of
the pills entered the country. The investigation was wrapped up shortly
after President Donald Trump took office, when the DEA seized over 3
million pills. 

Despite Biden’s abject failure to prevent such horrific tactics from
being used, his liberal media allies applauded Biden’s work on “battling
street fentanyl,” with a January 2026 report from NPR claiming that
Trump had “falsely” claimed that Biden was ineffectual on border
security and fentanyl interdiction. 

The scandal may be the worst case of law enforcement negligence since
Operation Fast and Furious. 

During President Barack Obama’s tenure, Operation Fast and Furious had
allowed for a countless number of firearms to end up in the hands of
Mexican cartel members under a negligent move to track dangerous
criminals. Many of the firearms were eventually used in high-profile
crimes like the murder of CPB agent Brian Terry late in 2010. 

Whistleblower advocacy group Empower Oversight has called upon Congress
to investigate the scandal.
