Merrick Garland struggles to get on top of violent crime spike

One year into the Biden administration, the U.S. continues to see surging crime, as Attorney General Merrick Garland struggles to get a handle on the situation.

Garland has taken several steps to try and quell violence, but as 2021 drew to a close, he lamented that there was still work to be done.

Garland defended the memo, and DOJ officials claimed federal law enforcement was only concerned with violence and threats of violence, despite the memo also mentioning “harassment” and “intimidation.”

That memo came under renewed criticism after an email exchange reviewed by Fox News revealed that the NSBA’s letter, which led to Garland’s memo, was the result of a request from Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.
