Warner was the U.S. Attorney during the September 11 attacks in 2001 , and played an important role in advising the government on counter terrorism issues following the terrorist attack . Warner 's office had a major role in the security planning of the events during the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games . Because the Olympics were held four months after 9/11 , there was a tremendous public safety effort on the federal , state and local level . Regarding illegal immigration , Warner had proposed an emphasis on prosecuting aggravated re-entry cases when he was criminal chief . The office 's effort expanded over time into cases involving more conduct such as alien smuggling , alien harboring , transporting , and passport fraud . In addition to " Operation Safe Travel " and the commercial driver 's license initiative , the Office mounted a consistent on-going immigration enforcement effort
