The House passed a resolution condemning violence against law enforcement and calls to defund the police on Friday, with 61 Democrats voting against the measure.
All Republicans voted for the bill, which passed 337 to 61, with 134 Democratic "yes" votes.
It’s the last law enforcement-related bill House GOP leaders have teed up this week to commemorate Police Week.
The resolution text indirectly cited the summer 2020 protests, arguing "respect for the rule of law and law enforcement officials diminished" since then.
It appeared to go after progressive policies that critics have panned as soft-on-crime, claiming "policies implemented at several state and local jurisdictions have increased the difficulty and added significant risks for law enforcement to do their jobs effectively and safely."
