The Department of Justice is conducting a federal investigation. No one is above the law. The tumultuous events that have followed throughout the United States, including acts of solidarity and compassion, have prompted necessary and important conversations on painful truths over racism and injustice that we need to confront as a nation”, Reads the Embassy statement.

“Striving for an ever more inclusive and just democratic society with equal protection under the law is central to the American experience.
