As I depart my role as U.S. Attorney, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our partners and, of course, my colleagues at @USAO_ID. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve justice alongside this marvelous crew of public servants!

ALT These cases again demonstrate our unwavering commitment to tackling fentanyl trafficking and keeping this poison out of our communities, including tribal lands. I am grateful to the law enforcement partners and our prosecutors and staff who make these successes possible.

ALT Fentanyl is a deadly threat and, along with our dedicated federal and state law enforcement partners, we are focused on shutting it out of Idaho. This means prosecuting those who bring it into Idaho communities as well as those using our highways to take loads to another state. Either way, we will hold you accountable.

It was great to visit new @CanyonCo Prosecuting Attorney Chris Boyd to discuss the strong relationship between our offices and how we can do even more together!

ALT The defendant in this case earned every day of his sentence. Together with our law enforcement partners, our office remains focused not only on holding accountable anyone who would distribute child sexual abuse materials, but also supporting victims and seeking restitution on their behalf.

Unfortunately, human trafficking continues to be a serious, global problem that impacts the U.S. & our communities, even here in Idaho. Please take time to learn how to identify and respond to people who are at risk or who have experienced human trafficking.

Through the #DontClickDecember campaign, we recognize that anyone w/ a smartphone, tablet, or computer is likely to be targeted at some point. By being aware of common schemes & by talking to about the red flags of online fraud, every Idahoan can make a difference in this fight.
ALT It is a sad reality that these types of defendants exist in our communities. Fortunately for Idaho, our office’s team of prosecutors and victim advocates does a fantastic job working with dedicated federal, tribal, state, and local law enforcement officers to hold these criminals accountable. We will continue to do as much as possible to protect Idaho’s kids and support survivors of abuse.
