House Democrats planning to move domestic terrorism bill following Buffalo shooting

House Democrats are planning to move on a domestic terrorism bill on Tuesday after a gunman opened fire at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y. over the weekend, killing 10 people in what authorities are calling a hate crime.

House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) told reporters on Monday that the group will consider the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act on Tuesday morning. A vote in the House is expected this week, though it is unclear what day that will occur.

Democratic leaders had attempted to pass the bill earlier in the month by a fast-track process but yanked it from the calendar due to opposition from some progressive lawmakers.

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), the sponsor of the bill, told reporters on Monday that the legislation has been tweaked to stipulate that nothing in it would undermine First Amendment rights.
