EXCERPT: “The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will bolster its efforts to crack down on the flow of methamphetamine, opioids and other illicit drugs into the Northland with the addition of a Duluth office, officials announced Wednesday.

The partnership also will allow for some existing local investigators to be federally deputized.” FULL STORY: http://bit.ly/2UCSU6E
