On Wednesday, the Senate passed a resolution to roll back a controversial criminal code overhaul in Washington, D.C. with a 51-49 majority, including 33 Democrats. This has divided the Democratic Party, who have previously supported D.C. statehood, and sparked debate over the role of Congress in local affairs. The resolution will now go to President Joe Biden, who has said he intends to sign it into law, and its effects on the district's criminal justice system remain to be seen.
