The Miami U.S. attorney's office has scaled back its focus on white-collar crime and narcotics cases to aid Donald Trump's personal agenda. Since Jason Reding Quiñones took over in August 2025, the office has filed subpoenas to U.S. officials involved in the 2016 Russian election interference inquiry. Several dozen attorneys have left the Southern District of Florida, with one unit focused on economic crimes losing half its staff. The Justice Department has recorded 26 departures. The shift in priorities has also been seen in other government agencies, with the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense diverting resources to support Trump's policies. The Justice Department has dropped thousands of criminal cases to focus on immigration cases.
