Original Date Announced
January 20, 2025Section 6 of Presidential EO 14159, "Protecting the American People Against Invasion," directs Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to take all appropriate action to "jointly establish Homeland Security Task Forces (HSTFs) in all States nationwide." DOJ and DHS will create command centers to coordinate and supervise HSTFs and will control the composition of each HSFT, but each will include representation from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, as well as any other agencies that may provide "logistics, intelligence, and operational support." Objective of each HSTF is 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, and ensure the use of all available law enforcement tools to faithfully execute the immigration laws of the United States."

2025.03.06 DOJ - U.S. Attorneys' Offices Staffing Priorities
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issues a memorandum on “U.S. Attorneys' Offices Staffing Priorities,” setting forth guidance to ensure U.S. Attorneys’ Offices are appropriately staffed to address the administration’s immigration and crime priorities. The memo identifies Border Districts that are authorized to hire AUSAs despite the federal hiring freeze. It also allows “any U.S. Attorney's Office that details an AUSA to” the Homeland Security Task Force established in Executive Order 14159, or one of three other task forces, to “backfill the temporary vacancy with an AUSA hire."
