U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones Meets with Miami-Dade County Mayor to Discuss Public-Safety Partnership

MIAMI — U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Yara Klukas met yesterday with Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and senior members of her administration to discuss shared public-safety priorities and opportunities for deeper collaboration between the County and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The meeting focused on three central issues: enhancing the protection of public officials, supporting the continued improvement of the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation system, and strengthening coordination on future initiatives that safeguard the residents of Miami-Dade County.

Mayor Levine Cava briefed federal leadership on her administration’s progress at the Miami-Dade County Jail, including reforms aimed at improving safety, accountability, and conditions inside the system. The discussion also covered joint efforts to confront threats facing public officials and government institutions, an area where federal and local cooperation remains vital.

“This was a productive conversation about how we can work together to protect our institutions and the people who serve them,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones. “Mayor Levine Cava has made real progress reforming the County’s jail system, and our Office looks forward to building on that work through stronger coordination and shared commitments to public safety.”

U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones and Mayor Levine Cava also outlined practical areas for expanded partnership in the months ahead, including enhanced information-sharing, coordinated strategies, and future joint opportunities for county and federal personnel.
