AG Garland tightens restrictions on high-level employees at the Justice Dept. by prohibiting them from engaging in 'partisan political activities.'
“As Department employees, we have been entrusted with the authority and responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States in a neutral and impartial manner,” Garland wrote. “In fulfilling this responsibility, we must do all we can to maintain public trust and ensure that politics — both in fact and appearance — does not compromise or affect the integrity of our work.”
The 1939 law prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty, in federal facilities or using federal property. The Justice Department's previous policy allowed appointees to passively attend political events if they had obtained approval from supervisors. The restriction also extends to presidential election years, removing an exception for appointees whose close family members are running for partisan offices. Appointees are now prohibited from attending political campaign events, even on Election Day.
