How Biden's civil rights pros have reoriented the Justice Department
The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division has launched several major investigations under President Joe Biden, an aggressive start after years of neglect during the Trump-era.
In the early months of the administration, the department announced investigations into three major police departments -- a 180-degree turn from the last administration, which was highly skeptical of such systemic reviews. The Biden Justice Department has also launched an investigation into Georgia's prison system for alleged civil rights violations.
The most recent, publicly announced investigation was launched in Texas, where five juvenile detention facilities are being examined for systemic physical or sexual abuse of children.
Kristen Clarke, Biden's civil rights chief, highlighted the racial disparities in juvenile detention systems.
