In the United States, there are two ways that someone can commit a federal offense. The first way to commit a federal offense is to commit a crime that is made illegal by federal legislation such as mail fraud, which is when a fraud is perpetrated by using the mail that crosses state lines or involves the national U.S. Postal Service. The second way to commit a federal offense is to commit a crime on federal property or against a federal agency.
When you are charged with a federal offense, the stakes are high even if your offense was considered minor. That's because federal offenses often result in harsher penalties than those you could face in state court. Be prepared to be investigated by the FBI, DEA, ICE, IRS, or another federal agency.
