U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser and ATF Director Robert Cekada held a joint press conference in Wichita to announce the results of Operation Iron Sights. During this operation, federal, state, and local law enforcement worked as a team to make our communities safer places for Kansas to live. As a result, a federal grand jury handed down indictments for 34 defendants accused of firearms and drug trafficking-related crimes. @USAttorneys @TheJusticeDept @ATFHQ @ATFKansasCity @DEASTLOUISDiv @FBIKansasCity @WichitaPolice @SGCountySheriff @KansasHP @USMarshalsHQ @KSAGOffice

NEW PRESS RELEASE: Federal Law Enforcement Apprehends 14 Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens Following Court Authorization “When offenders who have committed horrific crimes — many of them against children — are released into our communities despite federal detainers, the risk to public safety is indefensible" - @USAttyBradford justice.gov/usao-or/pr/feder…
Federal authorities have now taken 14 violent criminal illegal aliens back into custody after they were released from Oregon prisons or jails despite ICE detainers. With court‑authorized information‑sharing from four counties, we’re tracking down high‑risk individuals and acting fast. We will not allow violent offenders to vanish back into our communities. Public safety comes first. READ MORE: justice.gov/usao-or/pr/feder…

Many thanks to the #WV Coalition Against Domestic Violence (wvcadv.org/) for inviting @USAtty_Capito to the Hope Changes Everything training and 2026 luncheon in Charleston earlier this week. “The work that you do every single day I believe to be some of the most critical work that is done anywhere in our state,” Capito said. “You encounter people on some of the worst days of their lives… You put yourselves in difficult situations, you turn toward difficult situations, and that is a noble and honorable thing... Know that you have a partner in me and the United States Attorney’s Office.” Thanks also to the Branches Domestic Violence Shelter and the YWCA Resolve Family Abuse Program for hosting Capito during visits this month. For Domestic Violence Awareness Month and every month, we affirm our commitment to pursuing justice on behalf of victims and survivors. We’re saying #NOMORE.

Five foreigners charged with election-integrity crimes justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/fiv…
I'm charging five foreigners for illegally voting in federal elections. U.S. elections should be free, fair, honest, and legal—and FOR AMERICANS ONLY. The process deserves 100% confidence of the American people. My office is doing its part to secure the ballot box!

West Virginia seniors lose an estimated $19 million a year to fraud. That's money stolen from folk who have spent their lives working and saving. And it doesn't begin to account for the taxpayer dollars lost to fraud each year. Earlier this week, @USAtty_Capito brought together nearly 20 federal, state, and local law enforcement officials and prosecutors at the Cabell County Courthouse in Huntington to discuss how we can better coordinate our efforts to combat fraud across #WV. “We have a shared responsibility to protect West Virginians, safeguard taxpayer dollars, and hold those who commit fraud accountable,” Capito said. Thanks to everyone who joined us and to WCHS Eyewitness News and other media for covering the discussion. facebook.com/share/v/1FYHed1… @wchstv @WOWK13News @heralddispatch

Americans are being industrially looted every year by Chinese criminal networks involved in scam centers in Southeast Asia and spreading like a cancer around the world, but we are fighting back.   - More than $1 billion in cryptocurrency seized in one year - 500+ scam sites taken down - Prosecutions underway   This is not just fraud. It’s an attack on American security. We will deploy every tool at our disposal to dismantle these networks and crush their criminal operations.

We really enjoyed using a game of elder-fraud bingo as an innovative tool to educate seniors about common fraud scams as part of Operation Silver Sentinel. During the operation, 78 law-enforcement volunteers — from across 15 federal, local, and state, law-enforcement agencies — participated in an elder-fraud prevention outreach surge. Announced with @IRS_CI @SecretService @FBIBaltimore Learn more at justice.gov/usao-md/pr/maryl….

Although we prosecute domestic violence cases every month, October – #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth – gives us an opportunity to spread the word so everyone can look for the signs and offer help. Our thanks to @BeasleyMedia for inviting U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson and @Safe_Alliance CEO Laura Lawrence to join @Power98FM @iamnolimitlarry & @NLLMMH and K104.7’s @mlmorningshow to spread that important message. The conversation doesn’t end in October. Together, we can continue to help connect survivors with resources and build safer communities. #DVAM #DVAM2026

"COVID‑19 relief programs were meant as a critical lifeline for small businesses and our communities during an unprecedented crisis. These funds were meant to keep paychecks flowing, businesses’ doors open, and communities afloat—not line the pockets of fraudsters." Today, the U.S. Attorney's Office, in coordination with the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General (SBA‑OIG), announced new criminal prosecutions, arrests, indictments and civil recoveries related to COVID-19 relief fraud. From June through today, the District of Oregon’s Government Fraud Task Force has brought 22 enforcement actions, involving more than $63 million in losses, and resulting in more than $15.8 million in recovered funds.

We’re continuing our commitment to prosecuting the dirtbags who are flooding our streets with poison. Over the course of this investigation: 🔺 15 defendants charged
🔺 87+ kilograms of high-purity meth seized
🔺 800+ kilograms of GBL seized in the U.S.
🔺 57+ kilograms of ketamine seized
🔺 1.5 metric tons of GBL seized in South Korea — the largest domestic seizure of a controlled substance in the country’s history Narcotics traffickers who threaten our communities can expect to face serious time in prison, just like these defendants.
