Today we secured a 30-yr sentence against a member of the violent 764 terror network, which targets kids. Grateful to @FBIDetroit who investigated this case and AAG Matt Olsen @DOJNatSec whose team supported and who joined me at today's press conference. justice.gov/usao-wdmi/pr/202…

Some of our most important work is protecting survivors of domestic violence. We did so yesterday in U.S. v. Woods. justice.gov/usao-wdmi/pr/202…. We'll never prosecute our way out of this problem, but we're committed to being part of the solution.

Voting is the cornerstone of American democracy.  We all must ensure that those who have the right to vote can exercise it if they choose, and that those who seek to corrupt it are brought to justice.

On this Indigenous People’s Day, I’m grateful for the 11 federally recognized Tribes in the Western District of Mich. I’ve learned so much meeting with Tribal leaders & members over the past few years. Proud to represent the United States in these gov’t-to-gov’t relationships. 🙏

Arisknight Winfree is a sexual predator whose horrendous acts caused immeasurable harm to the women and girls upon whom he preyed. ⚠️ This life sentence is necessary to protect the community and bring a measure of justice to the survivors. @FBIDetroit @EastLansingPD

On my way to a meeting with one of Michigan’s Tribes, I stopped by the Dr. Nathan Thomas House in Schoolcraft, Mich. Dr. Nathan and Pamela Thomas sheltered over 1,000 people escaping from slavery through the Underground Railway. nps.gov/places/michigan-dr-n…

I was in Marquette, Mich. today for sentencing of the Ogoshi Bros., whose sextortion scheme led to the death of 17-yr-old Jordan DeMay. Tremendous respect for his parents, who shared from their hearts, and our law enforcement partners - esp. @FBIDetroit. Amazing work.

This crime was brazen and incredibly dangerous. No business owner or employee should fear violence at work. Accountability for these crimes will be swift and serious. @ATFDetroit

Safety is a civil right. EVERYONE has a right to feel safe in their home & neighborhood. We are laser-focused @USAO_WDMI on the few driving violence in our communities. Today’s sentencing of Lawrence Slaughter is a good example—& the families of Niles, Mich. are safer b/c of it.

Met with community leaders in Muskegon and Muskegon Heights tonight to talk about hate crimes and our work to protect civil rights. Thanks to @FBIDetroit for joining and shout-out to Ron Jenkins, CEO of the Lake Hawks In Flight Foundation, for pulling us all together.
