Madam Speaker, for the past 4 years, American communities have been forced to live with failed, soft-on- crime policies that have sought to free violent criminals and defund our law enforcement. In California, a recent study showed that 70 percent of individuals who received zero-dollar bail were subsequently rearrested. A study focused on Chicago identified that 50 percent of offenders who were released committed another violent crime. Now isn't the time to put dangerous criminals back on the street. It is time to pass legislation that stops violent criminals and instead backs the men and women in blue. We rely on our police officers to keep us safe, and we cannot allow far-left policies from prosecutors continue to allow criminals to go free. It is time to pass the Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act and help to put a stop to the unaccountable bail systems that have allowed these violent criminals to roam the streets of America.
