Group Press Releases Covering The Time Period Of Shutdown (Photo) - 11/17/25

Good afternoon,

We are happy to be through the shutdown so we can again share newsworthy cases being handled by our office.  Since we were not able to share these during the shutdown, we have compiled group press releases on noteworthy cases with links to the full press releases if you would like to review additional details on any given case.  There are three categories of press releases highlighting a total of 19 separate cases/investigations: (1) Transnational Drug Trafficking and Weapons Offenses; (2) Violent Crime and Child Exploitation cases; and (3) Fraud, Waste and Abuse cases.  Like many federal employees across the Nation, the dedicated public servants at the United States Attorney’s Office continued to work without pay throughout the shutdown to ensure the ongoing protection of the community.  As these cases show, the USAO has continued to obtain excellent results that have kept people safe from drugs and guns, child exploitation, and fraud, among other offenses.  Please feel free to reach out with any questions.  Thank you.
