On March 1 the Customs Service will be transferred from the Treasury
Department to the Department of Homeland Security(DHS). Employees will be
split into two different bureaus. Inspectors, import specialists and other
revenue related employees will be combined with Border Patrol Agents,
Agriculture Inspectors and INS inspectors under the Bureau of Customs and
Border Enforcement (BCBE). Special Agents from Customs, INS, FPS and Customs
air and marine enforcement officers will be assigned to the Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE). FINCEN, which is the
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U. S. Treasury Department, has
no criminal investigators. Most leads and investigations from FINCEN were
assigned to Customs, Secret Service and ATF special agents. Under a
Treasury regulation, all financial information within TREASURY can be shared
with other agencies within the department without bureaucratic paperwork but
not outside of the department . None of these agencies will be part of the
TREASURY Department after March 1. ATF is moving to JUSTICE and USSS to DHS,
along with CUSTOMS. The only criminal investigators remaining in TREASURY
will be IRS criminal investigators who are very restricted in their duties
and TREASURY Inspector General agents who work internal investigations.
After March 1, the above agencies will no longer be part of the TREASURY and
congress has not passed legislation to allow FINCEN to share with DHS. So,
why is all this important? FINCEN will not have any investigators to share
vital information or send investigative leads. There is a growing feeling
among those familiar with the situation that "white collar" crime is going
to increase as former financial investigators are moved to terrorist and
immigration related duties at DHS. In other words, the act creating the
DHS has a number of holes that are going to facilitate financial crimes
unless new legislation is passed very soon.
