U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland met with Indiana law enforcement members Monday during a summit to address violent crime across the country.

A government study of federal execution procedures is ongoing. That’s according to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who spoke to NPR in a rare interview that aired Thursday.
