    A N.C. gang member was sentenced today to 15 years in federal prison for fentanyl distribution. This prosecution is part of Operation Counterpunch, a Homeland Security Task Force initiative. Full release from @USAO_EDNC in the comments.
    Quote from ATF reading “The outcome of this case demonstrates that those who threaten the safety of our communities with drugs and violence will be held accountable,” said Special Agent in Charge Alicia Jones. “The collaborative efforts among law enforcement partners, and the focus and objective of the Homeland Security Task Force, have been invaluable in helping to identify, apprehend and prosecute the violent groups and individuals that jeopardize our public safety.”
