Operation Take Back America
Since January 20, 2025, the Justice Department has taken numerous steps to empower
prosecutors and law enforcement operating in Districts around the country to protect their
communities from the ongoing threats and risks that the American people elected President Trump
to address. The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) and the Project Safe
Neighborhood (PSN) Program have long been central to these types of efforts in the field. This
memorandum establishes a single initiative, called “Operation Take Back America,” that will use
OCDETF and PSN resources to implement core policy objectives established by President Trump
and the Attorney General:
Repelling The Invasion Of Illegal Immigration
Achieving Total Elimination Of Cartels And Transnational Criminal Organizations
(TCOs)
Establishing Homeland Security Task Forces
Charging The Most Serious. Readily Provable Offense
Restoring The Death Penalty
