Felon indicted for unlawful possession of stolen firearm in Las Vegas. ⁦@USAO_NV⁩ we will continue to ensure that prohibited possessors will be met with the full force of the law.⚖️

No punishment is enough to achieve justice in this horrific case, but we hope that this 20-year sentence will send a strong message of deterrence while holding Kumar accountable for crimes that caused significant physical, psychological, & financial harm.

“Thanks to the dedication of our partners at the Schenectady Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, this defendant is no longer a threat to our streets. Mixing lethal narcotics and illegal firearms creates a volatile and unpredictable combination, and I thankful this investigation stopped Mr. Dunn before that volatility could harm the community.” - First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III

Watch below: Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche's full remarks at the Port of Alaska yesterday to announce the $180 million settlement with the municipality of Anchorage, Alaska to resolve the port litigation that began in 2014. "This is not just any port. This is by far the most important infrastructure in this great state of Alaska. It's not just important to the Alaskans, which brings them food, brings them equipment, brings them everything they need to survive, but it's also important to our military."

Thoughts on the morning drive! That time in Afghanistan when the rule of law became very real to me. I love the rule of law. We are a nation of laws. It’s part of what separates us from so much of the world. We have rights, liberties, a voice, legal protections. And there is a big difference in being “legalistic” and fighting for the rule of law. I believe that God establishes order from chaos. Even Jesus said, “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s”, indicating that he acknowledged that there is a place for governance and order in this crazy world. But I had an experience in Afghanistan back at the beginning of the war that really brought it all home to me. I was on a small very remote special operations team living among the Afghan people, and among all the combat operations and typical soldier tasks, my team also worked to make things better, to win hearts and minds, and to show them it was a new day and that freedom was real. But one day one of the old-school Afghan warlords decided to shut down some of the humanitarian work my team was doing. General Mirallam was his name and I made clear to him that he was not going to stop the work. He wanted to control it. He wanted to have a say in it. But I told him it was a contract with the United States and he would not interfere. He finally grudgingly gave in. Then he asked me, “in America, when there is a problem with a contract, who fixes it?” …..I told him, “the lawyers!”…..and he and his minions laughed like that was the stupidest thing they had ever heard. It occurred to me then that all of the devastation, and brokenness around me was not just a result of war….it was the result of what happens when the rule of law is abandoned….when the strongman can do whatever he wants….when the people have no rights, no voice. I came home from that with a deep and abiding appreciation for the rule of law. And now…..now I get to do something about it as a US Attorney. Thoughts on the morning drive!

Ex-Union Boss Pleads Guilty to Theft and Wire Fraud Charges over $290,000. “Unions exist to protect and uplift their members, yet this defendant chose greed over duty, stealing from the very people he was entrusted to serve,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois is pleased to share that U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros has been appointed to Co-Chair two critical Subcommittees on the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee (AGAC): (1) the Artificial Intelligence Subcommittee as well as (2) the White Collar, Cyber, and Crypto Subcommittee. Below is a statement from U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros about his two appointments: “I am deeply grateful to General Todd Blanche for giving me the opportunity to Co-Chair two cutting-edge AGAC Subcommittees. I am confident that the Subcommittees on Artificial Intelligence as well as White Collar, Cyber, and Crypto will have a strong, positive impact on these various areas at the local, regional, and national level. Our work will very much focus on innovation as well as ways to maximize effectiveness, accuracy, productivity, and efficiency. Just look at the Department of Justice’s exceptional work on the Trade Fraud Task Force, for example; through our work on the AGAC we’ll be able to bring even more awareness and support to that top enforcement priority. Similarly, artificial intelligence is a revolutionary, generational tool that dramatically impacts all performance metrics. Working through the AGAC, our Subcommittee will study and recommend ways the Department can harness the power and versatility of artificial intelligence in a responsible, thoughtful, and effective way. I am very much looking forward to working closely with my Co-Chair David Metcalf, the United States Attorney for @USAO_EDPA, on artificial intelligence, as well as my Co-Chair Jason Reding Quiñones, the United States Attorney for @USAO_SDFL, on white collar enforcement, cybercrime, and cryptocurrency fraud. There is no doubt that our combined efforts on the AGAC, along with those from Department of Justice leadership and other U.S. Attorneys from across the country, will allow us to achieve important results and strong progress on behalf of the people of this great country.”
