Biden repeals controversial DC crime bill.

TL;DR Summary
President Biden signed legislation nullifying the overhaul of the Washington, D.C., criminal code, which was blocked by the Senate earlier this month. The move was hailed by Republicans as a "major first step to restoring law and order in our nation’s capital city." This marks the first time since 1991 that Congress nullified the capital city’s laws through the disapproval process. The D.C. Council maintains that the city's criminal code is in need of reform, while Republicans argue that the overhaul treated violent criminals like victims and discarded the views of law enforcement.
