House Republicans have advanced a new appropriations bill that would impose sweeping federal restrictions on Washington, D.C.'s local governance. The bill includes provisions to ban traffic enforcement cameras, block noncitizen voting, loosen gun laws—including allowing concealed carry on public transit—and slash funding for D.C.'s college tuition assistance program.

The move has reignited the long-standing debate over D.C.'s lack of full autonomy and representation in Congress.
