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. In this new role, Ng will prosecute federal cases related to transnational drug organizations operating in the Sacramento region.
Ng will join the Homeland Security Task Force, which is composed of federal and state prosecutors, agents, and analysts focused on combatting transnational organized crime and targeting cartels. While serving as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, Ng will continue his employment with the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office and have authority 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.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office also has Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys from district attorney offices in Yolo, Placer, and Fresno Counties.
