The most recent press release, "Two Plead Guilty to Heroin Sales in St. Joseph," was submitted on May 31.
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration published 122 press releases the month before, marking a 24.6 percent decrease for the current month.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is assigned to combat drug smuggling and use within the country.
The DEA is continually criticized by the left for being involved in a failed war on drugs, while the right says the DEA protects the US from the harmful effects of drug trafficking.
