She said the DOJ “doesn’t look at the race of individual tolerant petitioners,” but she added that “systemic racial disparities are burned into certain sentencing laws and practices.”
Oyer wrote Op-Ed in 2021 outline How Biden tackles “systemic racism.” Oyer defended Biden’s trust in public advocates over prosecutors on the issue of criminal justice reform. Biden was finally recognized the following year when he appointed her as the lawyer who allowed her.
