South Carolina fentanyl conviction: In August 2025, a man from Rock Hill, South Carolina, was sentenced to more than 20 years in federal prison for selling fentanyl.
Other notable DOJ activity

The DOJ is doing just fine. The “list” above assumes people should be arrested when the only evidence against them are conspiracy theories and social media memes. Glad you posted some of the real progress that is being made.
