Federal criminal cases

Federal criminal cases involve violations of laws enacted by the United States Congress that apply across the entire country. These cases are prosecuted by federal authorities, primarily the U.S. Department of Justice, and are handled in federal courts. Examples include crimes like drug trafficking, white-collar offenses, immigration violations, and terrorism. Federal cases often involve complex legal procedures and larger-scale investigations compared to state cases. They are distinct from state criminal cases, which involve violations of state laws and are prosecuted in state courts. The goal is to uphold federal laws and ensure justice on a national level.
