Sheriffs group rebuts White House claim it is helping combat surge in retail thefts
Fox News
The National Sheriffs Association fired back at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaski's claim that the Biden administration is working with local law enforcement to help curb retail theft.
The statement comes after Psaki said during Tuesday's press briefing that the White House was taking action to address the growing of problem of retail theft with federal support to local law enforcement, saying "DOJ, FBI, and federal law enforcement have been in contact where retail thefts have happened to offer assistance in investigations. And in Los Angeles where we’ve seen a rash of break-ins, the FBI is providing assistance to a multi-jurisdictional task force led by LAPD and LA Sheriff’s Department to go after the criminal groups who are behind many of these incidents."
