President Donald Trump's administration is moving to shut down a critical Department of Justice unit fighting organized crime and drug trafficking that dates all the way back to the Reagan administration, Bloomberg News reported — and there doesn't seem to be any clear reason why.
The leaders of this unit, known as the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), received notice that all operations must wind down by September 30, and "An email sent last Monday by a DOJ budget analyst to a counterpart at OCDETF said that the unit’s fiscal year 2026 budget would be 'zeroed out' and the independent office dissolved, according to records obtained by Bloomberg News in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and the people familiar with the matter."
All office leases and other operations will be canceled as well.
