For the first time, the Justice Department, @DHSgov and @StateDept are offering $8 million in rewards for information that leads to the arrest, conviction, or financial disruption of key leaders of the Clan Del Golfo’s #HumanSmuggling operation.

Today, Attorney General Garland convened a meeting of the Election Threats Task Force, underscoring the Department’s #ElectionSecurity efforts to safeguard election workers - whether elected, appointed, or volunteer - from threats and intimidation.
“Each of these cases should serve as a warning: If you threaten to harm or kill an election worker, volunteer, or official, the Justice Department will find you. And we will hold you accountable.” – Attorney General Garland
“Together, we promise that the Justice Department will be relentless in defending the right to vote - and in defending the safety of the public servants who make voting possible.” – Attorney General Garland
“Our first priority has been - & will continue to be - individual accountability. Companies can only act through individuals. The rule of law demands that those most culpable for a company’s misconduct are the ones being charged, prosecuted, & convicted.” – Deputy AG Monaco
On consequences for corporate recidivists: “Penalties exist to deter future misconduct. They’re not the cost of doing business. So, when a company breaks the law again - & it’s clear the message wasn’t received - we need to ratchet up the sanctions.” – Deputy AG Monaco

@HHSGov @USDA @usedgov @DHSgov @HUDgov @USDOL @DeptVetAffairs @USAID The rule will protect beneficiaries by:
✔️ Requiring federal grantees that administer social service programs within the U.S. to notify beneficiaries of their right to be free from religious discrimination and providing a model notice for providers’ use.
✔️ Making clear that all covered social service programs - both those supported by vouchers and by grants - may not discriminate against beneficiaries based on their religion.
