#TBT Last Thursday, EDVA Project Safe Neighborhoods AUSA John Butler and I presented at a Violence Reduction Stakeholder Convening w/ Safer Together in Norfolk. It was great to see HR community groups and law enf together. Highlight: announcing $500K in PSN grant funding!

It was wonderful to honor the strength and courage of crime victims tonight at the annual OJP OVC candlelight vigil on the National Mall. Certainly made me consider this year’s #ncvrw2024 theme - how would you help?

Today’s ATF HQ Gun Violence Survivors’ Summit was really moving. EDVA will continue to do everything we can to enforce our federal gun laws. If we can forfeit an illegal gun and prevent another tragedy, it’s worth it.

Life is a highway when you’re a U.S. Attorney. I’ve driven 24 hours around EDVA in the past 6 days, spending time at 3 of our offices and community events. It’s been great to see everyone but I’m ready to stay home this weekend!

Yesterday’s naturalization at randolphmacon was wonderful - I’m always inspired to present the candidates on behalf of the United States. And Gabe Laplante had a huge cheering squad. Congratulations to all!

It's no secret that drug trafficking can result in violence. 2 armed people tried to rob Conley, a drug dealer, + caused a gun battle--in which the robbers died. A fed jury convicted Conley + his conspirators today. Thanks FBI Norfolk, USPIS - Norfolk, VA, Virginia Beach Police Department, + Chesapeake Police.

It was worth the 7-hour drive round trip on this beautiful Sunday to catch many of Va’s Commonwealth’s Attorneys at their meeting. U.S. Attorney Chris Kavanaugh + I spoke about partnering w. “The Feds” to keep our communities safer.

USMS has many dogs who are available for adoption. Please consider adopting one of these dogs who have been rehabilitated and are ready to be rehomed! #USMarshals

We're committed to enforcing the gun laws on the books. A Marylander who comes to Va to buy more guns, lying about his residence, is going to federal prison. (An aside: why do you need 59 guns?) Thanks to ATF Washington for their work on this case with us.
