House to pass sweeping police reform legislation
By Cristina Marcos and Mike Lillis - 06/25/20 06:00 AM EDT
House Democrats are poised to pass historic police reforms on Thursday, setting the stage for a showdown with Republicans in the Senate where efforts to strike a bipartisan deal are dwindling.

George Floyd’s death on May 25 sparked nationwide protests over police brutality and racial injustice that have put immense pressure on Congress to act.
