Fort Wayne 六周联合清剿结束：27人被诉、查获105支枪与约18公斤可卡因
美国司法部印第安纳州北区联邦检察官办公室与烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）在印第安纳州 Fort Wayne 公布「Summit City Sweep」行动结果：这场为期六周的联邦、州与地方联合清剿针对暴力犯罪、非法枪支与毒品贩运，共27名被告被诉，执法人员查获大批枪支、毒品与现金。
司法部说，行动查获105支枪支，其中29起枪击与全国综合弹道信息网络（NIBIN）记录相关联；另查获约18公斤可卡因、535克芬太尼、83克冰毒、4辆汽车与约25万美元现金。联邦检察官办公室取得4份大陪审团起诉书与2份刑事控告，共涉及7名联邦被告，其余案件由 Allen County 检察官办公室处理。
联邦检察官 Adam Mildred 说，Fort Wayne 是他的家乡，这项由 ATF 主导、以犯罪枪支情报中心为驱动的行动，正与 Allen County 检察官并肩处理社区暴力的直接成因。ATF 芝加哥外勤分局特别探员主管 Christopher Amon 说，行动同时打击持枪施暴者与非法供枪者。
参与行动的还有缉毒局（DEA）、美国法警局、印第安纳州警、Fort Wayne 警局、Allen County 警局与 New Haven 警局等机构，资金由高强度毒品贩运区计划支持。行动建立在司法部「安全社区计划」（Project Safe Neighborhoods）之上。司法部提醒，起诉书只是指控，被告在法庭证明有罪之前均推定无罪。

Operation Summit City Sweep in Fort Wayne: 27 Defendants, 105 Firearms and About 18 Kilograms of Cocaine Seized
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Indiana and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the results of Operation Summit City Sweep, a coordinated six-week federal, state and local enforcement surge targeting violent crime, illegal firearms and drug trafficking. A total of 27 defendants were charged, and officers seized substantial quantities of weapons, drugs and cash.
According to the Justice Department, the operation seized 105 firearms, with 29 shootings linked through the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, along with approximately 18 kilograms of cocaine, 535 grams of fentanyl, 83 grams of methamphetamine, four vehicles and approximately $250,000 in cash. The U.S. Attorney's Office secured four federal grand jury indictments and two criminal complaints covering seven federal defendants, with the remaining cases handled by the Allen County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
U.S. Attorney Adam Mildred, who called Fort Wayne his hometown, said the ATF-led, Crime Gun Intelligence Center-driven initiative works hand in hand with the Allen County Prosecutor to address the immediate causes of violence. Christopher Amon, Special Agent in Charge of the ATF Chicago Field Division, said the operation targets both those who commit violent crimes with firearms and those who illegally supply them.
Partners in the operation included the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Indiana State Police, the Fort Wayne Police Department, the Allen County Police Department and the New Haven Police Department, with funding support from the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program. The operation was built on the Justice Department's Project Safe Neighborhoods program. The department noted that an indictment is merely an allegation and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
