Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: The federal executive department responsible for federal law enforcement and legal matters for the U.S. government. Not to be confused with state attorneys general or private law firms.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is a federal executive department established on July 1, 1870, during President Ulysses S. Grant's administration. Headed by the Attorney General (a Cabinet-level position), it is responsible for enforcing federal laws and administering justice across the United States. The department comprises eight legal divisions, multiple federal law enforcement agencies including the FBI and DEA, and 94 U.S. Attorneys' offices. While not directly involved in UFO/UAP disclosure, the DOJ's administrative framework for releasing sensitive documents (notably the Epstein Files in December 2025) served as the procedural model for the Pentagon's 2026 PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) disclosure program.

O Departamento de Justiça dos Estados Unidos (DOJ) é um departamento executivo federal estabelecido em 1º de julho de 1870, durante a administração do Presidente Ulysses S. Grant. Chefiado pelo Procurador-Geral (cargo de nível de gabinete), é responsável pela aplicação das leis federais e administração da justiça em todo os Estados Unidos. O departamento compreende oito divisões legais, múltiplas agências de aplicação da lei federal, incluindo o FBI e DEA, e 94 escritórios de Procuradores dos EUA. Embora não esteja diretamente envolvido na divulgação de UFO/UAP, o marco administrativo do DOJ para liberar documentos sensíveis (notavelmente os Epstein Files em dezembro de 2025) serviu como modelo de procedimento para o programa PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) do Pentágono em 2026.
