Known for her blunt, polarising style, Reno frequently told the public "the buck stops with me," borrowing the mantra from President Harry S. Truman.
In the spring of 2000, Reno authorised the armed seizure of 5-year-old Elian Gonzalez from the Little Havana home of his Miami relatives so he could be returned to his father in Cuba. That enraged her hometown's Cuban-American community.
In 2002, Reno ran for Florida governor but narrowly lost in the Democratic primary.
During her time in office, Reno also oversaw the convictions of several bombers including Ted Kaczynski -- infamously known as "Unabomber" -- Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols for their roles in the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing; and Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman for the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing.
