Federal law enforcement officials executed federal search warrants at 15 locations in the Phoenix area on Monday, January 26, 2026. The action is part of a long-term criminal investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Arizona, with support from other federal agencies.
Authorities stated that the search warrants were issued after information was presented to a federal judge and are connected to suspected felony violations of federal law. The investigation has been ongoing for several months.
Officials said more details will be released as evidence is collected and reviewed for potential charges. “This is an ongoing investigation, and information is limited at this time. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona, Homeland Security Investigations and other federal law enforcement entities in Arizona remain committed to protecting the public and the homeland, upholding the rule of law, and defending the interests of the American people,” according to a statement from authorities.
