ATF Miami

A coordinated Homeland Security Task Force operation in South Florida resulted in federal charges against 38 individuals, the seizure of 94 firearms, nearly 10 kilograms of illegal narcotics—including fentanyl—and the disruption of firearms and drug trafficking activity. Law enforcement agencies continue working together to identify, investigate, and prosecute those who threaten public safety. If you're involved in trafficking illegal firearms or drugs, expect to be held accountable.

A convicted felon allegedly chose to arm himself, flee from law enforcement, and shoot a police K-9—now facing serious federal charges. Attacks on law enforcement officers and K-9s will be met with aggressive prosecution. Illegal firearm possession and violent resistance only add years of consequences. Accountability follows.

A federal jury convicted a multi-convicted felon who set a vehicle packed with fentanyl disguised as oxy pills, crack cocaine, cash, and a loaded firearm on fire while law enforcement officers stood nearby during a Palm Beach County drug investigation. The explosion could have killed officers and innocent bystanders. The defendant now faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in federal prison. Federal, state, and local law enforcement will continue targeting armed drug traffickers who endanger our communities with fentanyl, illegal firearms, and violence. Crime brings consequences.
