A policing tactic used by federal authorities is under investigation by the House Oversight Committee. This tactic allowed large amounts of fentanyl to reach the streets while building bigger drug cases. The committee's chairman, Rep. James Comer, has requested records from the Attorney General related to the DEA's strategy of monitoring fentanyl shipments without seizing them.

The investigation follows concerns raised by officials and DEA whistleblowers. Further details about the investigation and the concerns that led to it are available from the source. The House Oversight Committee is seeking more information about the DEA's actions and their impact on communities.
