根据联邦监督机构的一份报告，美国国土安全部去年抽调额外联邦特工参与移民执法的决定，导致该部门调查部门的芬太尼调查与缉获量大幅下降。
这场针对 ongoing 芬太尼相关行动的策略突变，源于唐纳德·特朗普总统激进的移民打击政策——该政策要求政府内所有联邦特工抽调参与移民逮捕行动，其中就包括负责打击贩毒集团和犯罪组织的移民及海关执法局国土安全调查部门的特工。
迫于满足白宫设定的配额的巨大压力，国土安全调查部门在2025财年将大部分工作重心转向移民逮捕，偏离了部分正在进行的芬太尼相关工作。根据上周发布的国土安全部监察长报告，某办公室报告称其约99%的工作都投入到了移民事务中，几乎没有余力开展芬太尼调查。
报告指出：“2025财年，国土安全部的工作重心转向了移民执法。因此，国土安全调查部门将移民执法置于芬太尼相关刑事调查之上。”
该报告审查了国土安全调查部门在切断芬太尼供应链方面的作用，包括该机构的技术手段、与其他联邦机构的协调以及优先级转变。此次审计于2025年3月至2026年5月期间开展。
报告显示，2022至2024财年，特工投入芬太尼调查的时间持续增加，但2025财年，用于此类调查的时长较上一财年下降了约31%。
“与此同时，移民执法在所有调查类别中增幅最大，增加了超过170万小时（增幅超过800%），”报告续道。
这也导致芬太尼调查与缉获量减少。2025财年，国土安全调查部门发起的调查数量较上年下降了24%。报告称，某外勤办公室发起的调查数量从2024财年的30起降至2025财年的13起。
“尽管美国缉毒局（DEA）报告称2025年创下了多次芬太尼缉获量纪录，但国土安全调查部门的芬太尼缉获量在2025财年仍下降了39%，”报告称。
在给CNN的一份声明中，国土安全部一位发言人表示，国土安全调查部门“正与该部门密切合作，跟踪各项指标并执行目标，以评估移民及海关执法局-国土安全调查部门打击芬太尼的成效。2026财年，我们启动了一项作为机构优先目标的行动计划，为打击芬太尼设定了关键里程碑。”
在接受监察长办公室采访时，全国各国土安全调查部门办公室的特工都表示，他们全员投入到了本届政府的移民执法行动中。例如，报告称，一个由7名特工组成的毒品调查小组被缩减至“2至3人”，因为其余人员被重新分配到移民案件中。
审计还发现了其他阻碍国土安全调查部门打击芬太尼努力的问题，包括技术局限、必要资金短缺以及来自美国海关与边境保护局等其他联邦机构的转介线索不一致。
监察长向移民及海关执法局提出了四项建议，该局已全部同意。其中包括对人员配备水平进行审查，“以确保配备与芬太尼调查相对优先级相称的适当覆盖人员”。移民及海关执法局-国土安全调查部门同意对人员配备情况进行审查并确定后续步骤，预计完成日期为2027年6月30日。

Fentanyl investigations and seizures dropped during Trump’s immigration crackdown, federal watchdog says

The Department of Homeland Security’s decision last year to pull additional federal agents for immigration enforcement resulted in a dramatic drop in fentanyl investigations and seizures by the department’s investigations division, according to a federal watchdog report.
The sudden change in approach toward ongoing fentanyl-related efforts stemmed from President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown, which required federal agents across the government to be pulled in for immigration arrests. That included agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations, the body charged with combatting cartels and criminal organizations.
Under tremendous pressure to meet White House-imposed quotas, HSI pivoted much of its work in fiscal year 2025 to immigration arrests, pulling it away from some of its ongoing work into fentanyl. One office reported that around “99 percent” of its work was dedicated to immigration, leaving almost no room for fentanyl investigations, according to the DHS inspector general report released last week.
“In FY 2025, Department priorities shifted toward immigration enforcement. Accordingly, HSI prioritized immigration enforcement over fentanyl-related criminal investigations,” the report found.
The report reviewed HSI’s role in disrupting the supply of fentanyl, ranging from the agency’s technologies, coordination with other federal agencies, and shifting priorities. The audit was conducted from March 2025 through May 2026.
Between fiscal years 2022 and 2024, agents had increasingly dedicated time to fentanyl investigations, but in fiscal year 2025, the hours spent on those investigations declined by around 31% compared to the previous fiscal year, the report found.
“At the same time, immigration enforcement saw the largest increase across all investigative categories, rising more than 1.7 million hours (over 800 percent),” the report continued.
That also led to a reduction in fentanyl investigations and seizures. In fiscal year 2025, the number of investigations initiated by HSI dropped by 24% compared to the previous year. At one field office, the number of investigations initiated declined from 30 to 13 from fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2025, according to the report.
“HSI’s fentanyl seizures also decreased by 39 percent in FY 2025 despite the DEA reporting several record-breaking fentanyl seizures in 2025,” the report said.
In a statement to CNN, a Homeland Security spokesperson said HSI “is working closely with the Department to track metrics and execute goals to assess how well ICE-HSI is combating fentanyl. In FY26, an action plan was launched as an Agency Priority Goal, which set key milestones for combating fentanyl.”
Agents across HSI offices nationwide reported an all-hands approach to the administration’s immigration push in interviews with the inspector general’s office. For example, one drug investigation team of seven agents was reduced to “two to three” because people were reassigned to immigration cases, the report states.
The audit identified other issues that hamstrung HSI’s efforts to combat fentanyl, including technical limitations, lack of necessary funds, and inconsistent referrals from other federal agencies, like US Customs and Border Protection.
The inspector general shared four recommendations with ICE, which concurred with all of them. That included conducting a review of staffing levels “to ensure an appropriate level of coverage commensurate with the relative priority of fentanyl investigations.” ICE HSI agreed to review staffing and determine next steps, setting an estimated completion date of June 30, 2027.
