Western Hemisphere head Zuniga trying to get Cuba off tier 3🤐
I directed the FBI, DEA, OCDETF, and the Department’s Criminal Division to identify top transnational criminal organizations that threaten our safety and prosperity.
Based on the counsel that I have received from these experienced professionals, today I am designating the following criminal groups as our top transnational organized crime threats:
MS-13
Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, or CJNG,
the Sinaloa Cartel
Clan del Golfo, and
Lebanese Hezbollah.
Today I am announcing that we are creating a transnational organized crime Task Force of experienced prosecutors who will coordinate our efforts and develop a plan to take each of these groups off of our streets for good.
The new Task Force will be led by Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. I want to thank Patrick Hovakimian in his office for stepping up and taking charge of this task.
The new Task Force will be organized into one subcommittee for each of these target organizations. I am confident that he is going to be very effective in his new role.
The subcommittee on MS-13 will be led by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Durham of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. AUSA Durham has played a significant role in the FBI’s Long Island Task Force, which has arrested hundreds of MS-13 members.
The subcommittee on Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion will be led by Trial Attorney Brett Reynolds of the Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section of the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division. Brett has led or co-led several investigations into the Cartel that have led to indictments of some of its highest ranking members.
The subcommittee on the Sinaloa Cartel will be led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Sutton of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California.
AUSA Sutton prosecuted several Sinaloa kingpins and led multiple international investigations targeting Sinaloa Cartel leaders, resulting in seizures of millions of dollars in drug proceeds and thousands of kilograms of illicit drugs.
The subcommittee on Clan del Golfo will be led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Emery of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. AUSA Emery has secured convictions against the top leadership of Clan del Golfo, including the kingpin Henry de Jesus Lopez Londoño, who commanded over 1,000 armed men for the cartel.
The subcommittee on Lebanese Hezbollah will be led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ilan Graff of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. AUSA Graff is overseeing the prosecution of two alleged members of Hezbollah’s External Security Organization, the first such operatives to be charged with terrorism offenses in the United States.
This subcommittee will be led and staffed by members of the Hezbollah Financing and Narcoterrorism Team, which is a group I created in January.
This team is composed of experienced international narcotics trafficking, terrorism, organized crime, and money laundering prosecutors who are tasked with investigating individuals and networks providing support to Hezbollah.

. In a prostitution and money laundering investigation, the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Criminal Division and a USAO sought authorization to apply for warrants to search the e-mail communications of two individuals who

were formerly members of the news media. Prosecutors did not suspect that the former members of the news media committed any offense in the course of, or arising out of, newsgathering activities. However, the conduct under investigation did occur when the two individuals were members of the news media. As the former members of the news media were subjects of a criminal investigation for conduct not based on, or within the scope of, newsgathering activities, the Attorney General’s authorization to apply for the warrants was not required. Rather, the Department’s News Media Policy permitted the prosecutors to apply for the search warrants after they obtained the authorization of a Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division. See 28 C.F.R. § 50.10(d). Prosecutors obtained the necessary authorization, served the search warrant on the email communications provider, and obtained evidence relevant to the investigation.
