Nomination of Merrick Garland for Attorney General

Mar. 10, 2021 | March 10, 2021

The AFL-CIO urged swift confirmation of Judge Merrick Garland of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to serve as attorney general. The multiple crises facing our nation make it more important than ever to have a chief law enforcement officer with Judge Garland’s demonstrated commitment to integrity, independence and justice for all. Judge Garland’s distinctive career makes him singularly prepared to lead the Department of Justice during these challenging times. The Senate confirmed Judge Garland’s nomination on March 10, 2021
