After 15 years on the run, U.S. fugitive Ardian Wongsomadi, wanted in Oregon for sex abuse & parole violations, has been deported from Indonesia. No extradition treaty. No MLAT. Just relentless work and strong partnerships. Justice doesn't stop at borders. @WashCo_DA @USMarshalsHQ

DSS Special Agents assigned to @USUNNewYork were proud to host @USAmbUN Ambassador Mike Waltz and @AmbUNReform Ambassador Jeff Bartos-bringing together American veterans and current reservists serving with UNDSS, who protect some of the world's most highly targeted diplomatic facilities. A tour of UN facilities and a little time on the range made for a memorable visit.
I visited with American veterans (and current reservists!) now serving as part of the United Nations Diplomatic Security Services, who protect some of the most highly targeted diplomatic facilities around the world -- and did the most American thing we could do: We went to the shooting range. Grateful for their service.

On April 21, Kervon Noel was extradited to the United States to face charges for armed robbery and conspiracy, 12 years after a warrant was issued for his arrest in Maryland, United States. If convicted of armed robbery, the maximum penalty for each count is 20 years in prison. A warrant of arrest was issued for Noel in Maryland in November 2014 for two counts of armed robbery and conspiracy. Noel was placed on a bond and ordered to appear in court to answer the charges in December 2014, but failed to do so, having fled the United States to Trinidad and Tobago.

MAJOR WIN for international law enforcement! U.S. and Panamanian authorities just secured the extradition of Reza Dindar—wanted for conspiring to illegally export sensitive U.S. technology to Iran. This operation brought together the Diplomatic Security Service along with our federal partners from HSI, CBP, DEA, USMS, and Commerce's BIS in a textbook example of interagency teamwork. The message is clear: We will pursue those who threaten our national security—no matter where they hide. Law enforcement partnerships work. Our technology stays protected. Justice prevails.
