Joe Biden and the White House plan to host George Floyd’s family to mark the first anniversary of his death. They planned to have this coincide with passage of a police reform bill. This bill is named after George Floyd. However, given how things work in Congress, the bill is still going through the review, debate, and negotiation process.<\/p>\n
From Newsmax:<\/span><\/p>\n Biden’s plans to host Floyd’s family come, however, as talks focused on the police reform bill named after Floyd — the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act — have stalled on Capitol Hill. Biden had previously set the anniversary of Floyd’s death as the deadline for the bill’s passage, and left much of the negotiations up to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, but there’s been little movement on the legislation in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Psaki said Friday that the White House is “in close touch” with the negotiators and “they still feel there’s progress being made,” but they’ve acknowledged it’s “unlikely” they’ll pass a bill by Biden’s deadline.<\/p>\n The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would ban chokeholds by federal officers and end qualified immunity for law enforcement against civil lawsuits, as well as create national standards for policing in a bid to bolster accountability. It passed the House in March, but faces a much tougher road in the evenly divided Senate, where Republicans have expressed opposition to efforts to repeal qualified immunity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Newsmax has more at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
