BLUE LINE ACT
An Illinois Congressman is calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring legislation that allows for the federal death penalty for criminals who target or kill first responders, including police officers, to the House floor for a vote. U.S. Representative Rodney Davis said the Blue Line Act ensures that criminals face the strongest possible repercussions in federal cases when they kill local law enforcement officers. Illinois abolished the death penalty in 2011 for state cases, but the federal death penalty could still apply within the state for federal cases. Davis faces U.S. Rep. Mary Miller in a Republican primary.
