“Get out there! What are you waiting for?” Garland said jokingly. “Now, no one is going to listen to the rest of this.” “The declines are not just abstract statistics,” Garland said. “As you know so well, they represent people — people who are still here to see their children grow up, to work toward fulfilling their dreams, and to contribute to their communities.”
“I met case managers, job coaches, and outreach workers at READI. I heard from several of the young men they serve,” Garland said. “And I met READI Chicago’s incredibly energetic director — named Eddie Bocanegra. … Speaking for all of us at the DOJ, Eddie, thank you for the enormous contributions to advancing our community violence intervention that you have made and that you have continued to make.
“Just look around you. This is new and different for us,” Bocanegra said. “These are the people who the attorney general has entrusted for the Department of Justice. This is the ethos that is coming from the very top.”
