DOJ Moves to Strike IEEPA Forfeiture Claims in $2.4M Treasury Funds Case

The United States filed a motion to strike claims, answers, and counterclaims in a civil forfeiture action over $2.4 million held at the U.S. Treasury, alleging violations of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. § 1705). The government seeks to eliminate competing claimant filings, including an out-of-time cross-claim, in the D.D.C. proceeding.
