Arizona Woman Sentenced for Drug Conspiracy Following Homeland Security Task Force Investigation

United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Brandy Miller, 48, of Flagstaff, Arizona, was sentenced on May 13, 2026, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Miller to 140 months' imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After completing her term of imprisonment, Miller will begin a five-year term of supervised release.

Miller was charged based on her involvement with a Mexico source of supply of methamphetamine known to supply the Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa, areas with methamphetamine via a local network of drug couriers.

On August 30, 2024, Homeland Security Task Force investigators utilized an individual who placed a drug order with the Mexican source, who instructed the individual to meet with a courier. Later that day, the individual met with Miller who delivered one pound of methamphetamine to the individual at an Omaha location. The buy was recorded, and Miller was arrested shortly thereafter. A search warrant on Miller's phone revealed messages with the source and evidence of multiple prior deliveries.

This prosecution is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion. The HSTF is a whole-of-government partnership dedicated to eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad. Through historic interagency collaboration, the HSTF directs the full might of United States law enforcement towards identifying, investigating, and prosecuting the full spectrum of crimes committed by these organizations, which have long fueled violence and instability within our borders. In performing this work, the HSTF places special emphasis on investigating and prosecuting those engaged in child trafficking or other crimes involving children. The HSTF further utilizes all available tools to prosecute and remove the most violent criminal aliens from the United States. HSTF Omaha comprises agents and officers from FBI, HSI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, USPIS, the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, and assistance of the Nebraska State Patrol with the prosecution being led by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Nebraska.
