“Today, we remember the immense terror, pain, and devastation that our nation endured 21 years ago. (1/6)
“We remember those we lost on September 11, 2001 and those who have died of 9/11-related illnesses since. We remember the law enforcement and public safety officers who demonstrated enormous courage that day and in the days after. (2/6)
“And we hold close in our hearts all those who continue to mourn the loved ones who were taken from them. (3/6)
“As we remember, we also rededicate ourselves to protecting the American people, and to doing so in a manner that is consistent with our values and with the rule of law. (4/6)
“And we reaffirm our commitment to the priorities for which the Justice Department must always stand: upholding the rule of law, keeping our country safe, and protecting our civil rights and civil liberties. (5/6)
“Today, let us renew our vow to honor the victims and their families in all of the work that we do, and let us find continued strength and support from one another as we undertake that work.” (6/6) #NeverForget

Tune in tonight at 5:30pm ET: Deputy AG Lisa O. Monaco will participate in a discussion at the @SilveradoPolicy Leadership & Service Forum: "Portraits in Public Service & National Security" with @ODNIgov Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.
DAG Monaco: DOJ is working very hard to address & respond to the Russia aggression & atrocities in Ukraine across a host of vectors, whether it’s war crimes, investigations & prosecutions, responding to cyber attacks & probing, or going after sanctions evasion.
DAG Monaco: The polarization in our society that too often is resulting in threats & violence against public officials—from election workers to judges to airline workers to you name it—is really concerning. This shouldn’t be tolerated & we need to hold people to account for it.

@MCSheriffs They stressed the #DOJ strategy to reduce violent crime is about partnership.
