It shall be the duty of the United States attorney of the proper district to prosecute every such suit when brought by the United States.

Notwithstanding any other law, such prosecutions or suits may be instituted at any place in the United States at which the violation may occur or at which the person charged with a violation under section 1325 or 1326 of this title may be apprehended.
