‘Defund police’ Squad members are biggest spenders on private security
Fox News
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Cori Bush are among the most vocal advocates for defunding the police — while also being among the biggest spenders on personal security.
With Squad support, Pressley has sponsored the reintroduced Ending Qualified Immunity Act, which makes it easier for individuals to sue state and local officials, primarily police. She and Bush are also among the sponsors of the People’s Response Act, which aims to create a public-safety agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, to replace incarceration with health-based alternatives, and to provide $7.5 billion in grants to community-based organizations as alternatives to policing.More Related News
