Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Calls for a Federal Civil Rights Investigation following the Killing of Atatiana Jefferson in her Home
Jackson Lee—“I call on the United States Department of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation of Atatiana Jefferson’s killing to determine how and to what extent Atatiana’s civil rights were violated. While the shooter has resigned from his position as an officer of the Fort Worth Police Department and he has been charged with murder, the shameful and sad reality is that none of this will bring back Atatiana to her loving family. For Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson and countless innocent others whose lives were taken too soon and wrongly, law enforcement must develop and vigorously implement methods to limit the loss of life of innocent individuals. My heartfelt sympathies are with Atatiana’s family at this time. I know that if we could bring back Atatiana, we would. But we cannot. We can only hope her death was not in vain. Until that day and beyond, may she rest in peace.”

Jackson Lee—“As the impeachment inquiry of this lawless president unfolds and proceeds, I intend to host more dialogues like the one from yesterday evening, which was attended by hundreds of my constituents, and viewed online by many thousands more. As this impeachment inquiry takes shape, I will be returning to Washington to continue vigorous oversight of this president to definitely conclude whether this president committed the abuse of power of which Professor Martin Levy spoke, and whether removal from office is the appropriate remedy, as was determined for the president under whom John Dean served, before that president resigned in disgrace.”
