The Capitol Police, Armed With $2 Billion in New Funding, Expanding Operations Outside of D.C.
AOC and two other Squad members -- who spent months chanting "Defund the Police" -- had the power to stop this, but instead voted "present" to ensure it passed.

AOC refuses to join fellow 'Defund the Police' Squad members and allows passage of bill to vastly increase budget and scope of Capitol Police, to include opening satellite offices across the country(!) and duplicate spy/ I mean investigative powers belonging to the FBI.
This is a new domestic spy agency under the control of the Speaker of the House. And, btw, as part of the Legislative branch, they are exempt from FOIA and other reporting requirements
