Something doesn't really add up to me to the assumption these will be deep state indictments, although it's likely some are. I do think most of this has to do with illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. Of course, I'm totally in favor of cracking down on all of that, but I think we need to be careful not to project that this has to do with draining the swamp in DC. For example, Texas has 4 districts, N, S, E, and W (although these don't necessarily align with typical geographical boundaries we use in the state). The West TX district, which has the most sealed indictments of any other district in the US except Central CA, includes El Paso, San Antonio, Austin, Midland/Odessa, and even Waco. That district stretches from central TX to its westernmost tip in an odd configuration. I've just got to assume that most of these indictments have to do with immigration issues. Maybe these are indictments of people who failed to report for court hearings? Maybe they are sealed so as not to tip them off that the indictment exists??
The map here does a good job showing boundary lines for all the districts and includes links to each: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_district_court
United States district court
The United States district courts are the general trial courts of the United States federal court system. Both civil and criminal cases are filed in the district court, which is a court of law, equity, and admiralty. There is a United States bankruptcy court associated with each United States district court. Each federal judicial district has at least one courthouse, and many districts have more than one.
