federal crimes
Crimes against nation
Federal crimes are offenses that violate United States federal law rather than state or local law.
They include crimes on federal property, across state lines, or involving federal agencies—drug trafficking, tax evasion, bank robbery, mail fraud, immigration violations.
Federal crimes are prosecuted by U.S. attorneys and tried in federal courts, typically carrying harsher sentences than state equivalents.
