U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced new indictments against suspects with alleged ties to a pair of Minneapolis-based drug trafficking organizations.
Rosen, who made the announcement at a Tuesday press conference, was accompanied by Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Minneapolis Interim Police Chief Bill Peterson, whose departments worked alongside the FBI and DEA in the investigations.
Alleged members or associates of the Family Mob were charged with crimes that include conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, distribution of fentanyl, and murder. Meanwhile, members of the G Block gang were also charged, according to Rosen.
Several alleged associates of the Family Mob were charged earlier this year with fentanyl-related crimes.
Federal authorities said SWAT teams arrested twelve of the individuals charged on Tuesday.
“Violent drug trafficking will not be tolerated in Minnesota,” Rosen said in a statement. “When individuals flood our streets with dangerous narcotics and arm themselves to protect their illicit activity, they put everyone at risk. Through our strong partnerships across federal, state, and local law enforcement, we are committed to disrupting these networks and holding offenders accountable.”
According to a press release from the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Family Mob is a south Minneapolis-based gang that “conspires to distribute fentanyl, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, and other controlled substances.”
“In the past year, the area in the Family Mob’s territory has seen an increased prevalence of open-air drug trafficking, weapons violations, shootings, and homicides,” added the release.

According to federal authorities, the alleged Family Mob members and associates charged Tuesday maintained an open-air drug market and used violence to enforce their territory, which resulted in a September 2025 murder.
“Members and associates of the Family Mob gang collectively distributed kilograms of fentanyl every month during the course of the conspiracy,” wrote the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Suppliers within the drug trafficking organization procured fentanyl in kilogram-level quantities before passing it to street-level dealers.”
Tuesday’s indictments include charges connected to a September 14, 2025 shooting.
