The House has passed a GOP-led resolution to block a DC policing bill. It would next need to go to the Senate, but the White House has threatened a veto.
The vote took place not long after a similar measure sparked tensions and division among Democrats. In March, President Joe Biden said he would not veto a different resolution to rescind a DC crime law – a move that sparked outcry from congressional Democrats who argued the White House had not made its position clear before the House voted. The resolution went on to pass the Senate and Biden signed it into law.
” Democrats have long argued that Congress should not interfere with Washington, DC, government and have defended reforms outlined in the legislation. There are divides among congressional Democrats, though, over the issues of crime and policing, with some in the party wary of being criticized by Republicans as “weak on crime.” The bill that the resolution would block was passed by the DC Council and is called the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.
