Threat Areas
Six threat categories.
One coordinated response.
The Homeland Security Task Force brings together federal, state, and local partners to disrupt the networks, finances, and infrastructure that threaten our communities, borders, and national security.
Different threats.
A stronger America.
Narcotics & Contraband
Cartel-driven drug trafficking across borders and distribution networks—fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin.
Human Trafficking & Smuggling
Dismantling cross-border trafficking and smuggling networks. Priority focus: offenses involving children.
Weapons Trafficking
Intercepting illegal firearms flowing across international borders and into American communities.
Financial Crimes
Targeting the money—illicit proceeds, laundering networks, and terrorist financing that fund cartel and gang operations.
Transnational Gangs
Disrupting Foreign Terrorist Organizations including MS-13 and Tren de Aragua operating across national borders.
Cyber-Enabled Crime
Pursuing criminal networks that use the internet to operate—dark web drug markets, online fraud and extortion, and digital-currency money laundering.
A More Secure Tomorrow
Stronger Together.
These threat areas are deeply connected. Drug cartels finance gangs. Human trafficking and smuggling move people, money, and weapons. Illicit finance fuels every stage. Our integrated approach unites intelligence, enforcement, and partner agencies to disrupt entire criminal ecosystems — not just one piece.
Integrated efforts.
Greater impact.
