I had the stream in a tab for when she arrived to speak

and there were a couple people who spoke before she did (with some breaks in between).

There is a ceremony annually at that location and Pres. Biden was there for last year's ceremony -

VP Harris was there in 2022 -

I think there was a "virtual" crossing (although people were still out there) in 2021 due to the pandemic.

Remember, for us current or former federal employees, people like Garland are "GS-1000s" - the "god-level" appointees who come and go with the cycling of Presidents. Those doing the work are the civil servants and fixating on the appointees, with the idea that they are somehow micromanaging their Departments and doing everything within all their subordinate agencies (and in his case, DOJ is also over ATF, the Bureau of Prisons, the FBI, DEA, US Marshals, etc.,) will quickly lead to unnecessary headaches.



In addition, since most federal agencies have no "enforcement authority" (only "regulatory" ), DOJ lawyers become the "enforcers" (in court) for the federal agencies (for court filings like seizures, injunctions, and all kinds of other warrants).
