Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) drew sharp criticism Wednesday following her public outburst on social media after the Trump Department of Justice moved to drop federal “police reform” agreements with the Democrat-run cities of Louisville, Kentucky, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the agreements, initiated under the Biden administration, stemmed from investigations following the 2020 deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
They were designed to implement federal oversight and reforms targeting alleged civil rights violations by law enforcement in both cities.

According to ABC News, the agreements had been delayed in federal court due to multiple extension requests from the Department of Justice, which had not met filing deadlines required by judges overseeing the cases.
This week, the Trump DOJ filed motions to end both agreements, stating that the local governments in Louisville and Minneapolis had already taken action to reform their police departments independently.
Rep. Crockett, a first-term Democrat and member of the far-left “Squad” faction in Congress, took to X to express outrage at the DOJ’s move.
“The (Biden) DOJ found that police in Louisville and Minneapolis were violating people’s civil rights—so they created a plan to fix it, with rules the departments had to follow,” she posted.

“Now Trump’s DOJ wants to shut it down… like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd’s lives didn’t mean a damn thing. Feels less like justice—and more like protecting politics over people.”

Her post quickly drew a pointed response from Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, who defended the DOJ’s decision and pushed back on Crockett’s claims.
“Congresswoman, educate yourself,” Dhillon wrote. “Minnesota is already under a state consent decree, and Louisville is hiring its own monitor. Both cities have changed their police practices. Dusted and done.”
Dhillon concluded her response by stating, “The Federal Government is not the answer to everything– hardly anything, in fact!”

The DOJ’s decision marks a shift in approach under the Trump administration, which has emphasized state and local control over federal intervention in police matters.
Louisville and Minneapolis have each adopted changes to police policies and oversight, actions which DOJ officials say make federal enforcement agreements redundant.
Crockett has not responded to Dhillon’s comments.

Crocket is still looking up all those big words trying to figure out what that all means! She’s just the typical DEI hire unqualified to do anything. If it weren’t for the advantage of the color of her skin, she wouldn’t be qualified to be a two dollar hooker in coupon night!!!
She needs to ask Kamala on how to speak smartly while being clueless
It’s hard to believe she is an attorney, couldn’t find where she got her degree
One could call Crockett stupid but she isn’t, she just pretends to be the same way she pretends to be a ‘hood girl. Pretense is all Liberal Democrats have to offer and what is pretense but a lie. Democrats lie, cheat, and steal. Nothing new here.
One of these days …that flap will be shut
Just wondering if someone so stupid as Crocket was set up by the democ rats 🐀 of Hakeem and Bernie to make AOC look smart — that is how Biden was chosen by Obama and why Kamala was chosen for Biden —-dumbassed do come in handy
And Walz for Harris. And that really took a hard search to get under that bar.
Mark Twain supposedly said something to the effect of, ” Never waste time arguing with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.” Which is why fools like Jasmine the Jerk aren’t worth listening to or arguing with.
Crocket once more validated Mark Twain’s quip, “Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.”
I think we have heard enough from this idiot.
She is available or elimination in the ’26 midterm. make her a one and done before she says something intelligent
Regrettably you are delusional on both counts
I hope her district makes her a One and Done representative
