Mark T. Eager, of New Jersey, began an 11-year federal prison sentence for conspiring to distribute fentanyl. “This investigation brought together law enforcement agencies from across the nation,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations Seattle acting Special Agent in Charge April Miller. “Homeland Security Investigations special agents from Portland, Newark, and Houston contributed to the case, along with the Portland Police Bureau and HIDTA HIT officers, who were instrumental in identifying Eager. His 11-year sentence sends a clear message: no matter where you are in the country or the world, if you attempt to sell narcotics online to Americans, we will find you.” @HSINewark @HSIHouston @HSISeattle

This April, we recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month by reaffirming our commitment to protecting the most vulnerable among us. The work of our Houston Child Exploitation Group and our partners is vital as we confront new threats and technologies used to exploit children. These investigations require close coordination across federal, state, and local agencies. We honor the resilience of survivors, remember those impacted, and salute the professionals who dedicate their lives to this cause. Our mission remains clear: to identify victims, hold offenders accountable, and safeguard our communities. Protecting children is not just a priority — it is a responsibility we all share. #ChildAbusePrevention #HSI #ProtectTheVulnerable #Houston #EndExploitation
