While committee members unanimously voiced support for the police, the vote was split along party lines.<\/p>\n<h3>Partisan Accusations Fly<\/h3>\n<p>The Republican majority outvoted the Democrats 8 to 3. The Democrats accused the Republicans of ingratitude toward law enforcement, while the Republicans accused the Democrats of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) claimed that Republicans want to defund law enforcement through federal budget cuts. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) asked Nadler if he stood by comments that he previously made to The New York Post to defund the New York City Police Department. Nadler said he did. Norman added that New York has become more dangerous because of those budget cuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how you can sit there and make the statements you\u2019re making when your record is so dismal,\u201d Norman said.<\/p>\n<p>Nadler responded that New York is safer because money taken from police is used for mental health services.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) serves on the Judiciary Committee with Nadler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou asked if I\u2019ve ever heard this before,\u201d Biggs said to Norman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I serve on the judiciary committee; I hear it all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Resolutions Head to House Floor<\/h3>\n<p>The three resolutions\u2014HR 2494, HR 3091, and CR 40\u2014will now go to the House floor.<\/p>\n<p>The bills make illegal aliens who assault police automatically subject to deportation, allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hypocrisy-trump-team-shows-videos-of-democrat-lawmakers-during-impeachment-trial\/\" title=\"\u2018Hypocrisy:\u2019 Trump Team Shows Videos of Democrat Lawmakers During Impeachment Trial\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-mayor-congress-must-open-a-probe-into-security-failures-at-u-s-capitol\/\" title=\"D.C. Mayor: Congress must open a probe into security failures at U.S. Capitol\">federal law enforcement<\/a> officers<\/a> to purchase their service weapons when the guns are retired, and express support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pledges-orderly-transition-of-power\/\" title=\"President Trump pledges orderly transition of power\">local law enforcement<\/a> while condemning efforts to defund or dismantle police departments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe House of Representatives will be making clear where we stand. Above all, we honor the memory of all who have fallen in the line of duty,\u201d said Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.).<\/p>\n<h3>Democrats Critical of Resolutions<\/h3>\n<p>Nadler, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, and Biggs testified before the Rules Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Nadler criticized the resolutions, which he said would not help police while \u201cdemonizing\u201d immigrants and slighting federal law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, they are the perfect encapsulation of a Republican majority,\u201d Nadler said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nadler, HR 2494 is unnecessary because illegal aliens that assault police can already be deported. Nadler said the proposed law doesn\u2019t require \u201cactual harm\u201d or injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis could lead to absurd results,\u201d Nadler said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the legislation would subject non-violent people to deportation for such innocuous actions as shoving a firefighter or police officer out of danger in a fire.<\/p>\n<p>Biggs agreed that the situation Nadler described was absurd. According to Biggs, Nadler\u2019s situation was absurd because it wouldn\u2019t happen because in every jurisdiction, the state must prove intent to harm, whether or not there is actual harm. Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-Minn.) agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Nadler and other Democrats were especially critical of HR 3091. They said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-panel-advances-police-bills-in-party-line-vote-after-contentious-hearing\/\" title=\"Police bills move forward in House panel vote after heated hearing.\">resolution thanking local law enforcement intentionally left<\/a> out federal agencies. Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.) grilled Biggs on who made that decision and why. He said it was a slap at the Capitol Police who protected Congress on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Biggs denied there was any intent to slight federal law enforcement. He said those agencies were mentioned in the other bills. McGovern was unmoved. He said early versions of the resolution included the federal agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomewhere along the line, a decision was made to change that. Why would you do that?\u201d McGovern asked.<\/p>\n<p>McGovern said Republicans are getting back at federal law enforcement for its prosecution of former President Donald Trump. McGovern rattled off a list of indictments handed down against Trump, his staff, and associates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Rules Committee passed three resolutions to start National Police Week on May 15.
