In a surprise move, the Trump administration has fired the head of a key Justice Department task force responsible for combating organized crime and drug trafficking. The task force, which plays a crucial role in tackling illicit drug trade and gang-related activities, will now be led by a new chief. This development comes as the US government continues to grapple with the opioid crisis and rising concerns over organized crime. With the task force's efforts focusing on drug enforcement and crime prevention, the new leadership is expected to bring changes to the agency's strategy. Key areas of focus include narcotics trafficking and law enforcement.
