"The case is part of Operation Take Back America. In a press release announcing the charges, federal prosecutors called it "a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.""
