John J. Durham, a veteran prosecutor experienced in combating MS-13 gang activities, has been appointed interim head of the Eastern District of New York, which includes Brooklyn and Long Island. His lengthy career, spanning nearly 20 years at the office, includes significant achievements in prosecuting gang members. This appointment is temporary until President Trump’s nominee is confirmed by the Senate. Durham’s role is crucial, focusing on prosecuting serious crimes, especially related to gang violence in the region, demonstrating the office's commitment to public safety.
As someone who has served this Office for nearly 20 years, it is truly an honor to be appointed as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
Durham has been with the Eastern District as a prosecutor since 2005 and in August 2019 was appointed to direct Joint Task Force 'Vulcan,' a Department of Justice initiative to combat the murderous MS-13 gang.
