Brief Executive Summary
The Department of Justice (DOJ) investigated Operation Fast and Furious, a program established by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) that was intended to reduce illegal firearms along the Southwest Border. The purpose was to examine the long-term effects of the program. The DOJ found that Mexico and the United States would have to live with the consequences of the program for years to come.
