In Response to Buffalo Mass Shooting, Dem-Controlled House Passes Bill to Enhance Federal Resources to Prevent Domestic Terrorism

The House passed a bill late Wednesday that will enhance federal resources to prevent domestic terrorism in response to the racially-motivated mass shooting that killed 10 in Buffalo over the weekend.
The legislation was passed in the Democrat-controlled chamber along a near party-line vote (222-203). Retiring Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger was the sole Republican to vote for the measure.
The bill is primarily a response to the pressure Congress is facing to address gun violence and white supremacist attacks. But it is not the first time the House has passed such a measure only to have it go nowhere in the Senate.
