| Any matter or case that is brought to protect against
vulnerabilities to, or restore the integrity of, public or non-public infrastructure that is critical to our
national security. Such infrastructure may include systems or networks affecting national
transportation, communication and information sharing, immigration and citizenship status and
border protection, energy production and transmission, military installations and other government
facilities, natural-resource management, and banking and financial security, among others. These
matters and cases will typically be the result of proactive investigative and prosecutorial efforts.
Reactive, arrest-generated immigration cases are excluded, with the exception of those cases that
a district would not otherwise have taken but for a specific, affirmative counterterrorism effort to
protect infrastructure critical to national security. Defendants in cases coded under this program
code may have, but are not required to have, identifiable links to terrorist activity. Any case coded
under this section will involve potential or actual exploitation of weaknesses in infrastructure or
systems that affect our national security. |
Added 2008 |
Any matter or case where the underlying purpose or object of the investigation is anti-terrorism related (domestic or international). This program category is meant to capture United States Attorney Office activity intended to prevent or disrupt potential or actual terrorist threats where the offense conduct is not obviously a federal crime of terrorism. To the extent evidence or information exists, in any form, reasonably relating the case to terrorism or the prevention of terrorism (domestic or international), the matter should be considered "anti-terrorism." For example, a case involving offenses such as immigration violations, document fraud, or drug trafficking, where the subject or target is reasonably linked to terrorist activity, should be considered an "anti-terrorism" matter or case. Similarly, a case of identity theft and document fraud where the defendant's motivation is to obtain access to and damage sensitive government facilities should be considered "anti-terrorism." (National Priority (N).) Sub-classes of Anti-Terrorism are:
- Anti-Terrorism/Environmental
- Anti-Terrorism/Identity Theft
- Anti-Terrorism/Immigration
- Anti-Terrorism/OCDETF Drugs
- Anti-Terrorism/Non-OCDETF Drugs
- Anti-Terrorism/Violent Crimes
- Anti-Terrorism/All Others
