DOJ grant for anti-trafficking and digital forensics work
Lancaster County
Summary
A $349,000 federal grant will fund a digital forensics van, training, and overtime reimbursements for the Human Trafficking Task Force. The grant required a 287(g) agreement, which drew public criticism, and an LNP headline framing it as an immigration crackdown sparked sharp pushback from the DA and commissioners.
