The Senate floor erupted in a rare public intraparty bout Tuesday afternoon after Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., objected to the passage of a package of bipartisan bills on local law enforcement.
Booker’s objection to the passage of the seven bills held up legislation that covered everything from expanding grants to local law enforcement to cover secondary exposure to fentanyl, to a bill providing law enforcement training programs, to a measure expanding the potential duties of retired law enforcement officers.
During an exchange on the Senate floor, Booker criticized fellow Democrats for passing bills that the Trump administration could use against their communities.
