Remembering September 11, 2001. On the 25th anniversary of the attacks, we pause to reflect on the lives lost, the resilience of our Nation, and the extraordinary service and sense of duty that have guided so many of our public servants every day since. Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence was created in response to 9/11, marking a new chapter in Treasury’s role in protecting our Nation’s security. We will never forget.

#DidYouKnow since July 2025, illegal gambling investigations were tied to an estimated $126M in laundered funds? Illegal gambling often fuels money laundering and tax evasion, not just unauthorized betting. Steer clear of illegal gambling! ➡️irs.gov/compliance/criminal-… #IRSCI

#BREAKING: #FBISanAntonio Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran, spoke at a press conference hosted by @USAO_WDTX about a successful public corruption investigation by the FBI and @IRS_CI that resulted in guilty pleas. This case demonstrates that when individuals and agencies step forward with information, law enforcement will do its job—rooting out corruption, pursuing those who abuse the public trust, and holding wrongdoers accountable. The FBI encourages the public to report suspected corruption or breaches of public trust. Anyone with information related to public corruption or attempted bribery is encouraged to submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov or call 1-800-CALL-FBI. #LawEnforcement justice.gov/usao-wdtx/pr/tow…
