TL;DR

The House passed a non-binding resolution condemning efforts to defund or abolish the police, with 301 votes in favor and 119 against. All "no" votes came from Democrats, with 87 Democrats voting against the measure. The resolution recognizes the dedication of law enforcement and condemns calls to defund, disband, dismantle, or abolish the police. Democrats objected to language in the resolution that they felt unfairly singled out progressives and leftists, and argued that it did not address right-wing violence or police brutality. The House also passed bills aimed at supporting police, including making illegal alien assaults against police officers a deportable offense and allowing police to buy and use retired service weapons.
