Merrick Garland said he’d come to learn about public safety challenges, and a weather cancellation to a village helped him understand the delays authorities face when responding to crimes and emergencies.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland participated in a roundtable with representatives of Alaska Native organizations at the ANTHC building in Anchorage on August 22, 2023. Rep. Mary Peltola is at left and Sen. Lisa Murkowski is at right.
“We are here today to reaffirm the Justice Department’s commitment to working across the federal government and with the Alaska Native communities to meet these urgent challenges,” said Garland. She said Garland’s trip stemmed from a discussion they had about the challenges months ago, and he committed to a trip. One thing she wanted to impress on him are the logistical issues that can prevent state or federal authorities from quickly flying into a village to respond to emergencies and investigate crimes.Garland said seeing that problem first-hand on Tuesday was more instructive than hearing or reading about it.
“If even the Attorney General of the United States can’t get there, I can’t imagine law enforcement or medical could get there without enormous delay of time, and that’s just really not acceptable,” he said.
