Sacramento Deputy District Attorney Appointed to Federal Team Prosecuting Transnational Drug Organizations in the Sacramento Region

U.S. Attorney Eric Grant and Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho announced today the appointment of Deputy District Attorney Brad Ng to be a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney to prosecute cases in federal court relating to transnational drug organizations with ties to the Sacramento region.

Ng will work on the Homeland Security Task Force, a team of federal and state prosecutors, agents, and analysts dedicated to combatting transnational organized crime and targeting cartels. As a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, Ng will remain employed by the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office and will be able to prosecute cases in both state and federal court. Ng will work in this role 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."

The U.S. Attorney's Office currently has Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys from the District Attorney's Offices of Yolo, Placer, and Fresno Counties.
