federal offenses

Federal offenses are crimes that violate laws established by the United States federal government, rather than state or local laws. These include crimes like drug trafficking across state lines, mail fraud, bank robbery, cybercrimes, and immigration violations. They are prosecuted by federal agencies such as the FBI or the Department of Justice, and cases are handled in federal courts. Federal offenses often carry stricter penalties and involve more complex legal processes compared to state crimes. Essentially, they are violations of national laws that address activities affecting the country as a whole.
