"Nine House Democrats voted with Republicans to end Washington, DC’s sanctuary city status as a condition for statehood.
As the House prepared to vote on H.R. 51 — the Washington, DC, Admission Act — Rep. Fred Keller (R-PA) offered a motion to recommit. Keller’s motion to recommit would send the bill back to the House Oversight and Reform Committee with some amendments. The amendments would include:
D.C. could not defund their police department.
D.C. could not allow for the creation of an autonomous zone such as the Seattle, Washington, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
D.C. must protect its national monuments and memorials.
Cannot use taxpayers’ funds on campaigns.
Washington, DC, must guarantee Washontonians’ 2nd Amendment rights.
D.C. cannot establish itself as a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants.
Democrats blocked the motion with 182 votes in favor of the motion to recommit and 227 votes against the measure.
Even though most Democrats voted against the measure, nine Democrats voted in favor of Keller’s amendment."
