Sen. Cory Booker, chief negotiator for Democrats, says they’re making progress

Biden set a goal of passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act by this anniversary, but Congress is still at odds over the bill. It includes the creation of a national standard for police department operations and a national registry of data on police misconduct. The legislation would also streamline federal laws that prosecute excessive force and ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants.
