After Attorney General Merrick Garland issued an October 2021 directive calling for federal resources to investigate threats against school boards, a newly released memo shows the Justice Department pressured all U.S. attorneys' offices to convene meetings with local law enforcement and FBI representatives to address the alleged threat.
In particular, the memo gave prosecutors a hard deadline and required a report to Washington after the meeting, including a requirement to identify the specific local law enforcement agencies that participated.
The Oct. 20, 2021 memo, provided to Just the News by watchdog Protect the Public's Trust, was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
He provided guidance to all U.S. attorneys' offices nationwide to implement Garland's guidelines to coordinate with local law enforcement to address a “troubling hot spot” of violence against school administrators, members of the board or staff.
