Attorney General Merrick Garland is rolling out five cross-jurisdictional strike forces to disrupt illegal firearms trafficking in key regions across the United States, according to officials.

Garland, along with Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, visited Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) headquarters in Washington on July 22 for the official start of the program before traveling to Chicago—one of the five strike-force cities, officials said.
