🔺 156 weapons recovered
🔺 11 FBI field offices in the fight

And we’re not stopping there.

Through Operation Steadfast Promise, this FBI now has 400+ agents and staff and 30 Safe Trails Task Forces dedicated to Indian Country — our largest commitment EVER.

To the gangs, cartels, and violent thugs who think Tribal lands are somewhere you can operate unchecked:

Those days are OVER.

We’re coming after you. We’re dismantling your networks. And we’re going to keep showing up for these communities until the job is done.
