This joint resolution terminates the emergency determined by the President on August 11, 2025, in the Executive Order titled "Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia". It was introduced in the Senate on September 2, 2025, by Mr. Van Hollen and several co-sponsors. The text points out that the President failed to identify special emergency conditions that require using the Metropolitan Police Department for Federal purposes. It also notes that violent crime in the District of Columbia has declined for two years and is at a 30-year low. Additionally, the resolution mentions that the Federal Government prevented the District of Columbia from spending $1,000,000,000 of its own locally raised revenues budgeted for public safety and schools. The formal termination is enacted pursuant to section 740(b) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
