The funding comes from the DOJ’s Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, which Sen. Cornyn voted to fund as part of last year’s Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act. “There is a domestic violence epidemic in the United States, and we owe it to survivors, victims, and the American people to get dangerous attackers off our streets,” said Sen. Cornyn. “This funding will equip law enforcement with the tools and resources needed to improve operational readiness and public safety outcomes.” | 1 | 2026-08-19T05:29:02Z | 2026-08-19T05:30:24Z |
