- Regional agents recovered 193,417 fentanyl pills, nearly 17 kg fentanyl powder, and $5.53 million in U.S. currency during operations from January 12 to February 10, 2026.

- Viewed nationally, the regional results formed part of a larger federal effort that seized more than 4.7 million fentanyl pills and nearly 2,396 pounds of powder over a 30–33 day period.
