Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco, and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Civil Rights Division met with civil rights organizations today at the Justice Department.
Leaders from over a dozen organizations discussed an array of critical topics including voting rights, constitutional policing, and the Department’s redlining initiative.
“When I became Attorney General, I laid out three co-equal priorities for this Justice Department: to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland told the civil rights leaders. “I have also made clear that protecting civil rights is not only the responsibility of one storied Division in our Department – it is the responsibility of every Justice Department employee, every single day. It is central to the mission of every component, every team, every agent, and every prosecutor in this Department.”
Attorney General Garland highlighted recent significant civil rights work including the Department’s work to secure a ruling that portions of Texas Senate Bill 1 violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the opening of a civil pattern or practice investigation of the Memphis Police Department and the City of Memphis; and the Department’s efforts to combat unlawful discriminatory practices in the housing market, including by securing the largest redlining settlement in the Department’s history earlier this year.
