Federal Overreach is the online hub for the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach, a collaborative coalition of independent, locally-elected district attorneys and prosecutors. Its mission is to support accountability when federal officials exceed their lawful authority, especially in jurisdictions where federal agents have surged and where critics cite concerns about unconstitutional enforcement tactics, such as warrantless entries or unlawful detentions.
The project brings together legal leaders from cities across the United States to share strategies, coordinate responses, and inform the public about avenues for legal redress. Its work emphasizes the rule of law, constitutional limits on federal power, and transparency in enforcement.
Federal Overreach’s website acts as a central point for updates, coalition resources, and ways for supporters to engage in broader accountability efforts. It aims to empower local communities, bolster public accountability, and reinforce constitutional checks and balances in the face of federal authority that local leaders deem excessive.
