Homeland Security Task Force

Official account of the Homeland Security Task Force, a unified national law enforcement network created to eliminate Transnational Criminal Organizations 🇺🇸

[Homeland Security Task Force @HSTaskForce]

The Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) is a permanent, interagency law enforcement task force created by executive order to end the presence of criminal cartels, foreign gangs, and transnational criminal organizations throughout the United States, dismantle cross-border human smuggling and trafficking networks, end the scourge of human smuggling and trafficking, with a particular focus on such offenses involving children — across all 52 U.S. states and territories.

“For the first time, law enforcement will have a permanent task force in every state and territory nationwide.” -@POTUS Trump

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

.@AGToddBlanche on the @HSTaskForce actions announced in Puerto Rico this morning against violent drug groups: “Let this be a warning to those that are terrorizing our communities: our Homeland Security Task Forces around the country are unified, and they're unified to end the presence of criminal cartels, foreign gangs, and transnational criminal organizations around the United States.”

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Our message is clear: we will NOT allow our communities to be terrorized by gangs and terrorist cartels.

@HSTaskForce will stop at nothing to end the presence of cartels, gangs, and criminal organizations throughout our nation.

🚨81 Members of a Violent Gang in Puerto Rico Charged with Drug Trafficking and Firearms Violations as Part of @HSTaskForce Initiative

“These 81 defendants are alleged drug traffickers of ‘Los Baja Deo’ also known as ‘LBD,’ who maintained a steady supply of highly addictive and potentially lethal substances that endangered the community, fueled addiction and exposed entire public housing projects in Mayagüez and nearby neighborhoods to violence and chaos,” said @AGToddBlanche. “During this investigation, law enforcement seized 21 firearms. It is estimated that during the span of the conspiracy, this drug trafficking organization was responsible for the distribution of at least 340 kilograms of fentanyl or fentanyl-laced narcotics, and at least 2,200 kilograms of cocaine, among other drugs, generating over $49 million in proceeds. Let this be a warning to those that are terrorizing our communities, our Homeland Security Task Forces around the country are unified to end the presence of criminal cartels, foreign gangs, and transnational criminal organizations throughout the United States.”

[Attorney General Todd Blanche @AGToddBlanche]

Yesterday following a @HSTaskForce investigation, a Dominican Republic cocaine kingpin and leader of a D.R. based international drug trafficking organization was extradited from Colombia to Puerto Rico and is in custody to face narcotics trafficking charges filed in two separate indictments in Puerto Rico as well as money laundering charges in New Jersey.

During the Homeland Security Task Force investigation, law enforcement seized millions of dollars worth of cocaine and narcotics proceeds from his drug trafficking organization. Numerous other members of the organization have already been convicted.

Under this administration, federal law enforcement has the tools to find these high-profile drug lords and dismantle their organizations anywhere in the world, because we have a leader in @POTUS Trump who unified a permanent interagency task force across all 52 U.S. states and territories. #MakingAmericaSafe
