āTrumpās Justice Department is reportedly moving to dismantle the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forcesāa decision that could grind thousands of criminal investigations to a halt.
Bloomberg reported Monday that the administration has ordered the Reagan-era task force, created to take down drug cartels, human trafficking rings, and transnational crime syndicates, to shut down by Sept. 30. Its Virginia-based fusion center will also close, and the unitās 2026 fiscal year budget will be āzeroed out.ā
The timing is bizarre. This is the same task force that helped capture JoaquĆn āEl Chapoā GuzmĆ”nāthe head of the Sinaloa Cartel, possibly the largest drug trafficking organization in the Western Hemisphereāand seize over $2 billion from criminal enterprises. Why shut it down?
As is normally the case with Trump, thereās no clear explanationājust a sudden directive and more chaos. The move comes just weeks after Trump abruptly fired the task forceās director, Adam Cohen, despite reportedly collaborating with him on a new strategic memo.ā
Trump is a criminal and convicted felon, and chaos absent explanation is what Trump is infamous for.
