Department of Justice shuts down Community Relations Service after defunding

The Department of Justice has officially closed its Community Relations Service (CRS) following defunding from the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill. The CRS was known for its controversial practices involving government lawyers and DOJ employees who reportedly pressured families of White victims of crimes committed by Black and other non-White individuals to publicly forgive the perpetrators.

Allegations of coercion included monetary incentives and threats of legal action if families did not comply with pre-arranged statements. With the dissolution of the CRS, families of victims such as Iryna Zutroska and Logan Frederico are now speaking out about the nature of these incidents, describing them as racially motivated killings of White individuals by repeat offenders often released by District Attorney offices funded by George Soros.

This development comes amid broader discussions regarding law enforcement practices and community relations. For more on related coverage, see our article on recent developments involving the FBI"s ties with the ADL.
