AG Barr in Indianapolis today: “Unfortunately, in many places, the state and local law enforcement system, that is the criminal justice system, isn’t doing a good job incapacitating these violent offenders. Police do their job, they get the bad guys… 1/2
2/2"but then they’re back right out on the street. In the federal system, we’re able to prevent that. We’re able to keep people in pre-trial detention and protect the community. That’s why we’ve brought these federal tools to the table and we’re able to make them available here"
