Thank you to Associate Deputy AG Diego Pestana for keynoting CLA on the Hill 2026 this week — an outstanding address to the nation's corrections leaders on the public safety priorities we share. We’re so grateful for the DOJ’s support! (@diego_m_pestana @TheJusticeDept)

Thank you, Chairman Carr, for meeting with CLA on contraband cellphones in prisons. The tech to stop them is proven & deployable today — an authorization question, not a tech question. We urge a final rule. #CLAontheHill (@BrendanCarrFCC @FCC)

Thank you @SenTomCotton and @RepDavidKustoff for continuing to shed light on this important issue.
This week, I joined @SenTomCotton in sending a letter to @BrendanCarrFCC supporting the Commission’s ongoing rulemaking to allow wireless jamming of contraband cellphones in prisons. Criminals should not be able to run operations from prison cells using smuggled cellphones.

Honored to stand with Secretaries Kennedy and Rollins and leaders across government, health, and community advocacy at today's event. Thank you Attorney General Bondi for your continued support of efforts that strengthen wellness across federal corrections.
Director William K. Marshall III joined the HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, and national health leaders, influencers, and advocates, like former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, at the HHS Make America Healthy Again "Eat Real Food" event, bringing our voice to a powerful conversation about nutrition and wellness, and underscoring the importance of real-food choices for healthier communities, including those in corrections. 🍏 🥩
