Happy birthday to our incredible President @realDonaldTrump. I want to express my profound gratitude for the many personal sacrifices you have made for the American people and for giving me the opportunity to serve as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia so that we can pursue your agenda of law and order in the nation’s capital.

This defendant put American sailors’ and Coast Guardsmen’s lives at risk while attempting to evade U.S. sanctions and move illicit oil. By refusing lawful orders from the U.S. Coast Guard and leading them on a chase across the Atlantic Ocean, he not only obstructed federal law enforcement, but forced our service members to carry out a dangerous boarding operation in heavy seas. Today’s guilty plea makes clear that those who endanger American service members and attempt to undermine our sanctions laws will be held fully accountable.

Three of the teens involved in the chipotle teen takeover have been arrested. Unfortunately, I can’t prosecute them because the DC Council won’t lower the age of accountability.

James Callen stabbed his girlfriend multiple times, following his previous history of physical abuse, and then from his jail cell, tried to convince his victim to take the blame for ‘accidentally’ injuring herself. Let this verdict be a warning: if you commit violence against your partner, you will face serious consequences. If you contact that partner in violation of court orders, you will face the full wrath of this office.

Thank you to Ambassador Arrigo for the warm hospitality at the U.S. Embassy in Lisbon! 🇺🇸🇵🇹

Today’s seizures send a clear message that any attempts to exploit Americans trusted with access to our nation’s most sensitive information will be exposed and dismantled. These sham consulting sites were crafted to deceive, but thanks to the persistent work of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners, this scheme, like so many others, has been stopped in its tracks. We will always protect the integrity of our workforce and safeguard the trusted information that underpins our national security.

In Lisbon for the Global Anti-Scam Alliance Summit sharing lessons from our Scam Center Strike Force. Working alongside private industry, we’ve now restrained nearly $800 million in cryptocurrency tied to scams and helped shut down more than 500 scam websites. Combining the power of government with the innovation of the private sector is the ultimate key to staying ahead of fraudsters and protecting Americans.

By breaking into Patricia Johnson’s home in defiance of a court order and committing a horrific act of violence, Desmond Thurston showed a complete disregard for the law and for human life. This sentence holds him accountable and affirms our dedication to protecting those who seek safety from abuse.

Sergio Castillo‑Lopez came to the United States on a temporary visa, ignored the law for nearly a decade, and used that time to run a cocaine distribution operation. This criminal will spend the remainder of his unlawful stay in the United States in a prison cell and will then face deportation proceedings.

Owens was an active participant in a drug trafficking network that moved massive quantities of fentanyl and cocaine into the District. He personally admitted the narcotics amounted to more than a kilogram of fentanyl and two kilograms of cocaine. When he learned his customers ‘loved’ what he was selling, he sought an even more potent supply. That kind of indifference fuels fatal overdoses. Owens’ sentence reflects the gravity of his choices and serves as a warning: anyone who helps drive the opioid crisis in our community will be held accountable, no matter their role.

Who are the five DC Council members who have refused to advance curfew measures, an important law enforcement tool, that enhances public safety, and keeps young people out of dangerous situations?   -Janeese Lewis George -Trayon White -Robert White -Brianne Nadeau -Zachary Parker   They must stop prioritizing the chaos inherent with these out of control meet ups, as well as prioritizing offenders instead of law-abiding citizens of the District. I can do my job, but they must do theirs. fox5dc.com/news/dc-faces-sum…

Taking individuals like Jose Ramos, a fugitive wanted for murder, off our streets is exactly why the D.C. Safe Task Force is working and our nation’s capital is safer under President Trump⚖️🇺🇸

A proud day for our office! Received an award from @FBIDirectorKash, @FBIDDRaia, & @FBIWFO Assistant Director in Charge Darren Cox alongside some of the finest Assistant U.S. Attorneys in the country. Exceptional federal investigations require exceptional teamwork, and I couldn't ask for a better team to serve the public with.

Richard Cunningham didn’t just defraud lenders, he fabricated federal voucher documents, forged signatures, and invented a veterans housing program that never existed, all to line his own pockets. Exploiting the name and sacrifice of American veterans to commit fraud is particularly offensive, and my office will pursue those abuses with the full weight of federal law.

🚨Scam Center Strike Force Results🚨 ✅ 1.4 MILLION scam accounts disrupted ✅ $3.8 MILLION in stolen cryptocurrency frozen ✅ Criminal infrastructure disrupted across Southeast Asia Scammers stole billions from Americans. We’re fighting back—and pushing these criminal networks off the platforms they rely on. 🇺🇸

Cyber-enabled and crypto investment fraud is devastating Main Street Americans, wiping out life savings and preying on some of our most vulnerable citizens. We will not allow transnational scammers or the Chinese organized crime groups behind them to use America’s internet infrastructure against us or let U.S. companies stand idly by. I formed the Scam Center Strike Force with a goal of bringing private industry into the fight against this threat. When the public demands accountability, corporations respond. Disruption Week shows what is possible when governments and private industry focus their efforts in tandem: millions of scam accounts interrupted, and criminal networks pushed off the U.S. internet platforms on which they rely. This week’s results show our commitment to disrupting these schemes and protecting the American public.

George Carr is a lifelong criminal who has never been held accountable for his actions. Whether he destroys property, steals, sexually assaults another, or threatens to kill innocent people, the result has always been the same: an extremely lenient sentence that does nothing to deter his behavior or protect the public. Now that changes.

Augment repeatedly sold fentanyl in quantities large enough to kill hundreds of people, flooding a city already ravaged by an opioid crisis with one of the most lethal drugs on the market. This sentence reflects the grave danger he posed to our community and our determination to hold fentanyl traffickers accountable.
