What are Federal Crimes?

Federal crimes are those that violate federal statutes, take place on federal property, cross state lines, or involve federal officers such as FBI agents, border patrol agents, drug enforcement agents, and more.

Examples of federal crimes can include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Armed robbery
• Antitrust
• Arson
• Child pornography, exploitation, or abuse
• Kidnapping
• Cybercrimes
• Terrorist threats
• Drug trafficking across state lines
• Extortion
• Forgery
• Fraud against the government
• Investment and securities scams and fraud
• Medical and healthcare fraud
• Money laundering
• Racketeering
• Sexual misconduct with a minor
• Smuggling
• Sex or human trafficking
• Wire fraud
• Embezzlement

Federal investigations into these crimes can be very methodical and involved—and even occur without your knowledge. You may be asked to voluntarily submit to an interview with a federal officer. However, early intervention with the help of a Houston federal criminal lawyer may ensure your rights, reputation, and freedom are protected.

When is a Crime Charged at the Federal Level?

A crime may be charged at the federal level if it meets any of these criteria:

• The offense involved a federal officer, such as a DEA agent, FBI agent, etc.
• The accusation involves a violation of a federal statute
• The alleged offense took place on government-owned property

As a rule, prison sentences for federal crimes are longer than those imposed in state courts and can carry severe mandatory minimum requirements.
