DOJ Announces Strike Forces To Go After Gun Trafficking
Carmine Sabia July 22, 2021
Democrats have claimed again and again that they are not coming for your guns. But that is going to be questioned after the Department Of Justice’s most recent announcement.
As criminality and gun crimes soar nationwide, particularly in cities headed by Democrats, the Department Of Justice has announced that it will deploy five strike forces across the nation to stop the supply of illegal guns getting into key areas nationwide, CBS News reported.
Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco will unveil the five cross-jurisdictional strike forces during a visit to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Later on Thursday, Garland will travel to Chicago, one of the strike force cities.
The five key regions are: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay area and Sacramento Region, and Washington, D.C.
Led by U.S. attorneys in each of the areas, the prosecutors will work with ATF and state and local law enforcement to identify patterns, leads, and possible suspects in violent gun crimes.
The ATF is also going to embed strike force agents in with more than 45 local homicide units.
“All too often, guns found at crime scenes come from hundreds or even thousands of miles away. We are redoubling our efforts as ATF works with law enforcement to track the movement of illegal firearms used in violent crimes,” Attorney General Garland said. “These strike forces enable sustained coordination across multiple jurisdictions to help disrupt the worst gun trafficking corridors.”
