D.C. crime in spotlight at GOP-led hearing targeting police reform bill

On Wednesday morning before the hearing, demonstrators with the Hands Off DC Coalition held a march to the Rayburn building, imploring Congress to leave D.C. alone while defending the policing bill.

Outside the hearing, two Hands Off DC members told Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a member of the committee, to stay out of local affairs. “No one in the District of Columbia asked for this to happen,” Alex Dodds of Hands Off DC said. “They’re absolutely ignoring us.”
