1 / 6Census Citizenship QuestionAttorney General William Barr watches as inmates work in a computer class during a tour of a federal prison Monday, July 8, 2019, in Edgefield, S.C. EDGEFIELD, S.C. — Leroy Nolan has spent the last 26 years behind bars at a federal prison for a drug conviction. In the prison factory, he works making T-shirts, backpacks and other products that are later sold to government agencies, nonprofits and others.
On a visit this past week to Edgefield — a facility with a medium-security prison and minimum-security camp — Attorney General William Barr took a firsthand look at some of the programs in place, from computer skills to cooking, auto mechanic training and factory work. He met with prison staff and a handful of inmates, including some who will be released early under the First Step Act.
In the culinary skills class at Edgefield, the aspiring chefs told Barr about how they earn restaurant-level food preparedness and safety certificates so they can immediately try to find work once they are released. "We're focusing on building on the programs, the re-entry programs we need, and getting the funding to do it," Barr said in an interview this past week with The Associated Press.
The Justice Department has been working to meet the deadlines set by Congress for the First Step Act and is expected to unveil a risk-assessment tool this week that will help to evaluate federal inmates and ultimately could speed up their release. Under the resentencing provisions of the law, more than 1,600 inmates have qualified for a reduced sentence and more than 1,100 have already been released, a Justice Department official said. This is in addition to the 2,200 to be released on Friday after earning credits.
PriorityAAA Nothing more Obstructive and Dangerous, that The Investigation Divisions.

Rep. Swalwell: Pelosi is the conductor making sure all her instruments are in tuneDemocratic Congressman Eric Swalwell, member of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, joins NBC’s Geoff Bennett to discuss Democratic infighting and the vote to subpoena Jared Kushner, A.G. William Barr and others. Now that he isn’t running for President anymore do we really have to listen to this idiot? Trump is a racist!!! While I don't support the question of citizenship on the census - I think saying it is trying to erase the existence of Hispanics is a little much. Going that far out on the limb may give him cheers in parts of the Bay Area but otherwise does nothing to help advance the fight.

Justice Dept. asks Supreme Court to lift border wall rulingJustice Department asks the Supreme Court to lift court orders blocking Donald Trump from proceeding with border wall And they will obey, of course. Because the SC has become a part of the DOJ. Complete insanity by Trump and Barr. What a waste of federal resources. Only Congress can appropriate public funds not the President. That he couldn’t convince a GOP Congress to find his wall isn’t permission to raid the treasury on his own.
