Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked the final passage of a measure to create domestic terrorism units in the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department.
Democrats envisioned measure rushed through House after Buffalo mass shooting as basis for negotiations on legislation targeting hate crimes and access to firearms
Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked a domestic terrorism bill that Democrats pushed in reaction to the Tops Markets massacre in Buffalo, refusing to begin debate on the measure as well
Identical headlines usually mean shared wire copy. They are counted as separate articles but are not independent confirmation.
