Yesterday, a grand jury in North Carolina returned an indictment for DeCarlos Brown Jr., who viciously killed Iryna Zarutska on the light rail in Charlotte. He was walking free because of soft-on-crime policies. Our prosecutors will not rest until we get justice for Iryna.

Thank you @FTA_DOT for demanding Chicago’s leadership be held accountable for the extreme transit violence happening on @CTA transit systems on a daily basis. The out-of-control crime status quo ENDS with @POTUS’ administration.

Metro reinstates two LA bus drivers who vowed to protect riders from ICE. An LA County Supervisor and thousands of residents spoke out in support of the bus operators, who now have a 60-day unpaid suspension from their jobs. https://t.co/82b4Rd9yRq
