Norton criticizes Ogles' proposed bill to extend federal control over D.C. police as an attack on local governance.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) responded critically to Representative Andy Ogles' (R-TN) proposal to amend the Home Rule Act, allowing indefinite federalization of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department. Norton described the bill as "another in a series of extreme attacks on D.C. home rule" aimed at undermining local governance.
Norton emphasized that D.C. residents, who pay more federal taxes per capita than any state, are denied full representation in Congress. She pledged to oppose any efforts to pass Ogles' bill, asserting that it would lead to inappropriate federal control over local police, in light of declining crime rates in the area.
Ogles' legislation follows a recent historical move by President Trump to federalize the D.C. police amid claims of a crime emergency, despite recent data showing a significant drop in violent crime. Norton criticized this move and the broader Republican agenda to limit D.C.'s self-governance.
