Three days of surveillance. More than 990 pounds of cocaine seized. One arrest.

An international operation coordinated by #FBI Buffalo's Rochester Safe Streets Task Force, FBI Legat Bogotá-Quito, and the Ecuadorian National Police resulted in the seizure of 452 kilograms of cocaine near the Colombia-Ecuador border and the arrest of a suspected drug smuggler in Ibarra, Ecuador.

The successful operation highlights the strength of international law enforcement partnerships in combating transnational drug trafficking.

This FBI is transforming how we protect the American people using Superintelligence: a dedicated working group, our first‑ever Chief SI Officer, and an agency‑wide SI Review Board to ensure we deploy this technology responsibly and aggressively.

We expanded our use of SI by 605%, supercharging threat detection, triage, analysis, and processing, all while reducing spending by $300 million and identifying more than $1.2 billion in contract ceiling savings—resources we can redirect toward our core national security and public safety mission.

By integrating this technology into the work of this FBI, we can spot dangers faster, disrupt them earlier, and make communities safer.

Summer Heat 2.0 delivered results across Western New York.

As part of the FBI's nationwide initiative to crush violent crime, #FBI Buffalo worked alongside our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to target violent offenders and keep our communities safe.

A death threat against a Georgia congressman led investigators to Buffalo, where #FBI Buffalo assisted our Georgia law enforcement partners in making an arrest.

On Friday, the Butts County Sheriff and his deputies traveled from Georgia to Buffalo and worked side by side with our FBI special agents and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to personally take the suspect into custody for allegedly threatening to kill U.S. Congressman Mike Collins and his son-in-law.

“State lines don’t protect those who threaten violence, and they do not stop the FBI and our law enforcement partners from pursuing them,” said FBI Buffalo Special Agent-in-Charge Allen D. Davis II. “Strong law enforcement partnerships are critical to our mission.”

This is partnership in action. By working together across jurisdictions, the FBI and our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners can act quickly against threats and protect the American people.

From Corning to Rochester to Buffalo, #FBI Buffalo has been on the road bringing three Safety at Houses of Worship presentations to communities across our territory.

These events brought together multi-faith audiences for important conversations about preventing targeted violence in houses of worship. Audiences heard from local law enforcement partners, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and FBI personnel.

Keeping our houses of worship safe takes proactive partnerships, preparedness, education, and open communication throughout the year. FBI Buffalo is proud to work alongside our faith-based communities and partners to help create safer spaces where people can gather, worship, and connect. Events like these are just some of the ways the FBI fulfills our mission of protecting the American people every day. #CommunityOutreach

Today, FBI Buffalo gathered to remember the 2,977 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and the first responders who risked- and gave- their lives to help others.

9/11 changed the #FBI and our work here in Western New York. In the months that followed, FBI Buffalo investigated the Lackawanna Six, six local men who had traveled to an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan before the attacks.

Twenty-five years later, our mission remains clear: protect the American people while honoring the lives, courage, and sacrifice we can never forget.

We will always remember.
#NeverForget
