爱达荷联邦检察官巴特·戴维斯宣布退休，10月17日正式生效
美国司法部爱达荷地区办公室宣布，联邦检察官巴特·M·戴维斯（Bart M. Davis）将于2026年10月17日正式退休，结束其在爱达荷联邦执法一线的职业生涯。
戴维斯在声明中表示：“我无法充分表达，能与检察官办公室这些敬业而杰出的男女共事是多么大的荣幸。这些优秀的律师和工作人员忠实地执行法律，努力维护爱达荷州和我们国家的安全，支持我们的执法伙伴，并保护他人的公民权利。我为他们每天所做的工作感到骄傲。”
作为爱达荷州级别最高的联邦执法官员，戴维斯的管辖范围覆盖全州44个县、超过8.3万平方英里土地和近150万人口。他领导着设在博伊西、科达伦和波卡特洛的三个办公室，共65名雇员，其中包括33名联邦检察官。该办公室负责起诉辖区内的联邦刑事案件，涵盖移民、恐怖主义、公共腐败、儿童剥削、枪支和毒品等领域，同时在民事案件中代表美国政府应诉并追讨欠款。
在戴维斯任内，该办公室过去一年共提起298起刑事案件、起诉337名被告，其中约103起为贩毒案、89起暴力犯罪案、69起移民案和22起欺诈案。代表性案件包括：贩毒分子胡安·卡洛斯·德尔芬（Juan Carlos Delfin）因共谋分销冰毒被判处30年监禁；一名冒用已故儿童身份25年实施身份盗窃、电汇欺诈并盗取政府资金的男子被判5年监禁；性侵儿童的肖恩·杰姆·巴切（Shone Jem Bache）被判210个月监禁。此外，办公室同期提起或应诉355起民事案件，为政府追回920万美元的民事与刑事判决欠款。
人事方面，戴维斯在第二任期内聘用了12名联邦雇员，包括6名助理联邦检察官；在第一任期内聘用了26人。目前办公室一半以上的雇员都是在他两任任期内招募的。
戴维斯的仕途横跨立法与执法两界。他出生于南达科他州拉皮德城，在爱达荷州爱达荷福尔斯长大并开始法律执业，曾任爱达荷州参议员19年，其中15年担任多数党领袖，并曾任司法与规则委员会及州事务委员会成员。他2025年3月31日获特朗普总统提名，同年10月7日获参议院确认，此前已在特朗普第一任期（2017年9月21日至2021年2月28日）担任过同一职务。他1978年毕业于杨百翰大学，1980年获爱达荷大学法学院法学学位，最近与妻子玛丽安（Marion）庆祝了结婚50周年纪念日，两人育有6个孩子、14个孙辈。
戴维斯在声明中特别感谢了爱达荷州联邦参议员迈克·克拉波（Michael D. Crapo）和吉姆·里施（James E. Risch）的信任，以及特朗普总统让他重返爱达荷联邦检察官岗位的机会。他的退休将在爱达荷州联邦执法体系最高层留下空缺，继任人选有待白宫提名、参议院确认。

Idaho U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis Announces Retirement Effective Oct. 17
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Idaho has announced that U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis will retire effective October 17, 2026, closing out his career at the helm of federal law enforcement in Idaho.
"I am unable to overstate the privilege it has been to work with the dedicated and remarkable women and men of the U.S. Attorney's Office," Davis said in a statement. "These great lawyers and support staff faithfully enforce the law, work to keep Idaho and our country safe, support our law enforcement partners, and protect the civil rights of others. I am proud of the work they do every day."
As the top-ranking federal law enforcement official in Idaho, Davis held prosecutorial responsibility over 44 counties encompassing more than 83,000 square miles and a population of nearly 1.5 million. He led three staffed offices in Boise, Coeur d'Alene and Pocatello with 65 employees, including 33 attorneys. The office prosecutes federal crimes in the district — including immigration, terrorism, public corruption, child exploitation, firearms and narcotics cases — defends the United States in civil cases, and collects debts owed to the government.
Under his leadership, the office filed 298 criminal cases charging 337 defendants in the past year, including approximately 103 drug trafficking cases, 89 violent crime cases, 69 immigration cases and 22 fraud cases. Notable results include the trial conviction and 30-year sentence of Juan Carlos Delfin for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, a five-year prison sentence for a man who used a deceased child's identity for 25 years to commit identity theft, wire fraud and theft of government funds, and a 210-month sentence for Shone Jem Bache for sexual abuse of a child. The office also filed or defended 355 civil cases and collected $9.2 million owed to the government from civil and criminal judgments.
Davis hired 12 federal employees during his second term, including six Assistant U.S. Attorneys, and 26 during his first term; more than half of the office's current employees were hired by Davis across his two terms.
His career spans both the legislature and law enforcement. Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, and raised in Idaho Falls, Davis served 19 years in the Idaho State Senate, including 15 years as Majority Leader. He was nominated by President Donald J. Trump on March 31, 2025, and confirmed by the Senate on October 7, 2025, having previously served as U.S. Attorney from September 21, 2017, to February 28, 2021, during Trump's first term. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1978 and the University of Idaho College of Law in 1980, and recently celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary with his wife, Marion. They have six children and 14 grandchildren.
Davis thanked Senators Michael D. Crapo and James E. Risch for their confidence and President Trump for the opportunity to return as Idaho's U.S. Attorney. His departure leaves a vacancy at the top of Idaho's federal law enforcement apparatus, with a successor to be nominated by the White House and confirmed by the Senate.
