Here's a brief summary of what's in the BREATHE Act.

Section 1: Divesting from police
Divesting from agencies like the DEA and ICE as well as moving federal resources away from incarceration and policing
Eliminate ankle monitors
End civil asset forfeiture, which even some conservatives say is readily open to police abuse
End life sentences and mandatory minimum sentences
Develop a "time-bound plan to close all federal prisons and immigration detention centers"
Decriminalize and retroactively expunge both state and federal drug offenses

Section 2: Community safety
Offer a 50 percent federal match for projected savings when states and/or local jurisdictions close detention facilities, including jails
End cooperation with immigration authorities
Ban "pretextual" police stops and searches, even where police obtain consent. It's not clear how the lawmakers would define a "pretextual" police stop
Abolish police gang databases, as well as armed cops and metal detectors in school
Forgive all outstanding court debt
Tie state grants to intervention programs that involve specialists other than police responding to some 911 calls

Section 3: Allocating new money
Create a plan to close youth detention centers
Pilot programs for universal basic income
Develop curricula that examine the political, economic, and social impacts of colonialism, native genocide, and slavery
Create tools to promote environmental justice, including by subsidizing "community" energy solutions
Provide lifetime education for illegal immigrants and the currently incarcerated
Ensure all communities have safe access to water
Eliminate state laws that bar formerly incarcerated people from serving as guardian for their own children or others in their community

Section 4: Holding officials accountable
Pass the Commission to Study Reparation Proposal for African-Americans Act and establish commissions to "design reparations" for mass incarceration to include those caught up in the War on Drugs, border and police violence and the "systemic violation of the U.S. Government’s treaty obligations to Tribal nations"
Enfranchise all incarcerated individuals
Guarantee private right of action for recovering damages when a federal official has committed a constitutional violation
Allowing local and state resident voting for illegal immigrants

This coming from Biden's closest advisors... 🤔

Here's the actual bill as introduced if you care to read what it says and not a summary cut-and-paste from some website.

Come on Drafter! You can do better than this. One of the two Congresswomen propose this bil is Ilhan Omar, D-. She's bad news. But, can you show us anything indicating Biden has anything serious with her?

That bill is DOA. Only pariahs will vote for it. I doubt it passes the house. It won't pass the senate. Any president will veto it. SCOTUS will rule it is unconstitutional.
