Attorney General Garland orders federal prosecutors to make air travel assault cases a priority

In a memo to U.S. attorneys and the FBI, Garland said the Justice Department is concerned about the rise in criminal behavior on planes that endangers the safety of passengers, flight crews and flight attendants.

The Transportation Security Administration's mask requirement for passengers on planes, buses and trains is scheduled to expire Jan. 18. But it has been extended twice before.

He works at the pleasure of the President.

Well great, now let's move on to indicting TFG mobster and his cabal.

Air travel assaults are serious, not like attempting a coup, or attacking legislators and election officials.

It's good that Garland is making assaults on airlines a priority....but what about all the crimes trump has committed?

Now do the Jan 6 conspiracy participants Trump and family first

A priority? It would take 5 minutes: 1) First: ban all these thugs from flying on any airline and this terrorism would end in 30 seconds. Then, 2) Second: charge all those who committed such crime. What are you waiting for TheJusticeDept ?

Just gimmick pup, fight Trump and his pack,

what about those blokes who burned down buildings and attack civilians in the name of 'peaceful protest'?

If you're 35,000ft in the air and some idiot challenges the flying rules they agreed to when they bought the ticket, then starts a fight with the crew who have my life in their hands, it damn well is a priority that the assailant never flies again.

Good!!

Air travel assault? No the assault on voting rights or the January 6th Coup attempt?

How about ARRESTING TRUMP!?

He will back off of this fast after the race tally takes place.

Arriadna Not DOMESTIC TERRORISTS OR THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL RIGHT; THAT'S NO PRIORITY RIGHT AG MG?

The man who almost came to judge US.

How about an attempt to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States? Is that a priority?

Damn the murderers and rapist.

merrick Garland moral TheJusticeDept 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💯🔥🔥🔥✌🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️

Oh, is he really awake?

Wrong priority....what about the survival of our democracy?

I wish he would move forward on prosecuting Trump and his minions.

That's great but what about the attack on democracy?

But obstruction of justice and paying off porn actresses are okay.

Instead of treason apparently.

There should be a centralized no fly list for people that commit crimes in airplanes

Not a federal crime though. His priorities are not what he claimed they would've been.

So....parents are in the clear?

How about making a priority ordering his prosecutors to go after the orange man…

How about prioritizing and investigating the people in power who planned and incited the attempted coup on J6.

Yeah cause that’s the biggest problem in this country 🙄

Please just do trump. God

What about Trump?

What about January 6th terrorist
