§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment would have restricted when federal law enforcement officers can be deployed to manage crowds and protests. However, the Senate rejected the proposal, meaning these new limits will not be added to the annual defense funding bill.

KEY POINTS
2POINT 01

It aimed to prevent federal officers from being used as a general police force in cities during demonstrations.
POINT 02
