The FBI released information about their transnational criminal organizations task force with Homeland Security Investigations:
The FBI and
Homeland Security Investigations—the investigative arm of the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security—have implemented a new task force model aimed at rooting
out violent crime committed by foreign gangs, cartels, and other transnational
criminal organizations impacting the United States.
These new teams,
known as Homeland Security Task Forces,
bring together FBI and HSI personnel—as well as task force officers from local,
state, and federal partner agencies—to investigate transnational organized
crime activity such as drug trafficking and human trafficking that occurs
across all 50 states, the nation’s capital, and Puerto Rico.
"Transnational organized crime is
a complex and constantly-evolving threat—and it demands an equally
sophisticated and agile response," said FBI Director Kash Patel.
"Homeland Security Task Forces are at the forefront of the U.S.
government's fight to keep the tentacles of international gang, cartel, and
transnational criminal organization activity from reaching our shores and
victimizing innocent Americans. The FBI is proud to be leading this charge
alongside Homeland Security Investigations and our state, local, and federal
interagency partners in support of President Trump's executive order and of
Attorney General Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Noem's collective vision
for these specialized squads. Together, we'll continue to disrupt and dismantle
these foreign terrorist organizations, bring their members and collaborators to
justice, and restore law and order in our communities. Let's get after
it.”
