U.S. Attorney Eric Grant and Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho have announced the appointment of Deputy District Attorney Brad Ng as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney. Ng will focus on prosecuting cases in federal court that involve transnational drug organizations connected to the Sacramento area.
Ng is set to join the Homeland Security Task Force, which consists of federal and state prosecutors, agents, and analysts working together to address transnational organized crime and cartels. While serving as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, Ng will remain with the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office and will be able to prosecute cases in both state and federal courts for a two-year term.
“We see the impact of dangerous drugs throughout our community, from homelessness, violence and property crimes, and even fatalities,” said U.S. Attorney Grant. “Partnering with the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office will allow our offices to bring more cases targeting transnational drug organizations that impact Sacramento County. Brad Ng is a talented and experienced lawyer who will work to ensure that those who distribute large amounts of drugs in the Sacramento region are held accountable. I am grateful to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office and District Attorney Ho for their collaboration and commitment to keeping our community safe.”
“This partnership with the U.S. Attorney’s Office is a continuation of our fight to eradicate the fentanyl crisis, which has already resulted in Sacramento fentanyl deaths dropping 70% since 2023,” said Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho. “With Brad’s prosecutorial skills, he will play a key role in taking down transnational organizations that are flooding our communities with fentanyl and other deadly drugs.”
Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys from Yolo, Placer, and Fresno Counties’ district attorney offices are also currently working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
