Azahura n'akazi katoroshye
Merrick Garland naramuka abaye minisitiri w'ubucamanza, umwe mu bakomeye muri guverinoma ya Leta zunze ubumwe z'Amerika, azahura n'ibibazo by'ingutu.
Icya mbere: azaba yinjiye muri minisiteri yataye umurongo, iba igikoresho cya politiki. Yatangaje ko mbere yo kwemera icyifuzo cya Perezida Biden yabanje kumubaza, we na Visi-Perezida Kamala Harris, niba minisiteri y'ubutabera izagira ubwigenge bwayo. Mu kwa mbere gushize, Joe Biden yamushubije ku mugaragaro, ati: "Si jye agomba gukorera. Ashinzwe kubahiriza amategeko, gukorera itegeko nshinga, n'abaturage b'iki gihugu."
Icya kabiri: kuri Merrick Garland, "Leta zunze ubumwe z'Amerika ntiragera ku rwego rw'ubutabera rumwe ku baturage bayo bose." Mu nyandiko y'iriburiro yashyize ahagaragara aza kubanza gusoma imbere ya Komite ya Sena igenzura inzego z'ubucamanza, avuga ko "abaturage b'Abirabura n'abandi ba nyakamwe bagihura n'ivangura mu miturire, mu mashuli, mu kazi, no mu nzego z'ubucamanza." Asobanura ko aramutse abaye minisitiri w'ubutabera yakwihatira kurwanya ivangura iryo ari ryo ryose, n'ibitero byibasira inzego za guverinoma.
Muri uru rwego, azaba ashinzwe ibibazo by'Abirabura bahohoterwa n'abapolisi, byakuruye imyigaragambyo y'akaraboneka, no gukomeza gukurikirana abayoboke ba Trump amagana, barimo n'abo mu mitwe y'intagondwa z'Abazungu, bagabye igitero ku ngoro y'inteko ishinga amategeko y'igihugu ku italiki ya 6 y'ukwezi kwa mbere gushize.
Avuga ko abifitemo ubunararibonye kuko mbere yo kuba umucamanza mu rukiko rw'ubujurire, Garland yari umushinjacyaha. Ni we wayoboye anketi n'ubushinjacyaha mu rubanza rw'umugabo witwa Timothy McVeigh, wateze igisasu ku nyubakwa y'umuturirwa ya leta mu 1995 muri Oklahoma City, umurwa mukuru wa leta ya Oklahoma, iri mu majyepfo ya Leta zunze ubumwe z'Amerika. Iki gitero cyahitanye abantu 168. McVeigh yahamwe n'ibyaha yaregwaga. Urukiko rwamukatiye urwo gupfa, anyongwa mu mwaka w'2001.
Izindi anketi zitoroshye zatangiye Garland azakomeza gukurikirana naramuka yemejwe ni izireba umuhungu w'umukuru w'igihugu, Hunter Biden, ukekwaho ibyaha birebana n'imisoro, n'amavu n'amavuko y'izirebana n'imyivangire y'Uburusiya mu matora ya Leta zunze ubumwe z'Amerika yo mu 2016.
