The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded County of Macomb, Michigan a $693,041 cooperative agreement on June 1, 2026, under the Law Enforcement Support for Combatting Criminal Aliens, Drug, and Human Trafficking program (CFDA 16.076).

The award funds the county to assign or hire qualified prosecutors to serve as special attorneys under the direction of the National Fraud Enforcement Division or Criminal Division, or as special assistant United States attorneys within a United States Attorneys Office. The funding strengthens investigative and prosecutorial capacity, expands intergovernmental coordination, and enhances the county's ability to investigate and prosecute fraud and crimes committed by aliens within the United States, as well as drug and human trafficking crimes. The program increases the availability of cross-designated prosecutorial personnel who can pursue these matters in coordination with federal authorities.

Performance runs through May 31, 2029, with place of performance at Mt Clemens, Michigan. The Bridging Immigration-related Deficits Experienced Nationwide (BIDEN) Reimbursement Fund, established under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21), authorized grants to eligible units of local government for investigating and prosecuting violent crime, criminal enforcement initiatives, and immigration enforcement and removal efforts.
