Eleanor Holmes Norton: “Of course, this mandated a rule.”

In my long career representing D.C. residents in Congress, I have rarely seen a bill as unreasonable and patronizing to the more than 700,000 people who live in the nation’s capital as this one.

Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.

I have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.
