The most recent press release, "Man Indicted for Possessing Fentanyl Intended for Distribution," was submitted on Aug. 31.
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration published 44 press releases the month before, marking a 118.2 percent increase 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.
