State Representatives Angie Nixon and Tracie Davis are now asking the Department of Justice for a federal investigation. The DOJ responded to their request, acknowledging the letter and referring it for review. The letter reads in part: “The Department does not ordinarily confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. You should not interpret this acknowledgment as confirmation of an investigation of the matters described in your letter.”
Rep. Nixon and Rep. Davis asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to quote “investigate the skyrocketing deaths and the reports of people not receiving necessary medication while in custody in Duval County jail.”
