To ensure successful implementation of these reforms it’s critical to consider four key principles for reform:

- Accountability for All Enforcement Actions
- Protection of Civil Liberties
- Clarity and Focus of Mission
- Fiscal Responsibility

There are over 90 federal law enforcement agencies with authority to carry firearms and make arrests.

The result of overlapping jurisdiction results in too much spent on turf battles, too many agents in the same room on minor cases, and a lack of focus on important cases.

Instances of politicalization and bias have raised questions about the fairness and impartiality of our federal law enforcement agencies.

To rebuild confidence, comprehensive reform is imperative and should be aimed at ensuring equal treatment under the law.

Today, I am calling for reform and a refocusing of priorities for federal law enforcement.

I believe that Donald Trump has done great harm to federal law enforcement and our rule of law with his self-serving claims.

Ronald Reagan appointed me as the youngest US Attorney in the nation.

During that time, President Reagan made a historic decision to have the FBI play a role in drug enforcement.

Then, as Administrator of the DEA, I remember the focus of the FBI changing to counterterrorism.
