Plain-English Summary
Congress would vote to end a crime emergency declaration that the President announced for Washington, D.C. in August 2025, which would remove any special powers or resources the President claimed under that emergency order. This affects how federal law enforcement operates in the nation's capital and what additional authorities the President can exercise there.
