Generally speaking all indictments from a Grand Jury are handed down "unsealed."

It is usually only in exceptional cases (e.g.: multiple defendants for instance) where the indictments are sealed so that law enforcement can take coordinated action to arrest all the indictees at the same time, rather than the news of one or two indictments leak out and allow the remainder to flee.

What is the process of a secret indictment?

A secret indictment, also known as a sealed indictment, is a legal process where a grand jury issues an indictment without notifying the defendant or the public. This typically occurs to prevent the defendant from fleeing, destroying evidence, or influencing witnesses before the arrest. Once the indictment is issued, law enforcement can arrest the individual, at which point the indictment becomes unsealed and publicly accessible. This process is designed to balance the need for law enforcement with the rights of the accused.
