Thank you, Director Peters, for that kind welcome and introduction — and thank you for your steadfast and inspiring leadership of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Good morning. It’s great to be back in Chicago and to be here with partners and colleagues from ATF, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Chicago Police Department, and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.
I want to start by welcoming everyone to the Great Hall this morning. We often honor the most significant achievements that advance the Department's mission in this space — so it’s fitting that we’re together here recognizing Second Chance Month.
Today, Secretary General Saar and I will sign an agreement to use funds confiscated from Russian crimes to support the people of Ukraine, as they continue to bravely defend themselves against Russian aggression.
Thank you for that very kind introduction, Sam. And thank you to Professor Sir Charles Godfray, the Oxford Martin School, and Professor Robert Trager — who couldn’t join today — for hosting this event.
