From the transcript
The next case I want to talk about is in Southeast. We have a number of drug trafficking cases, of course, that we're constantly addressing, bringing them on a monthly basis. Here's one where we had an individual distributing narcotics in the Skagway area that resulted in death of two individuals. These, what we call death resulting cases, are particularly egregious, but it's an area that in federal law law, we think we can make a significant impact. And the reason I say that is that while you may have a drug trafficking crime under state law, that may also be a drug trafficking crime under federal law.
