WASHINGTON, May 18 (Xinhua) The U.S. House on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to pass a bill aimed at combating the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in the country, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden s desk for signature.
The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act passed in a 364-62 vote in the House, with all no votes coming from Republicans. The Senate last month approved the bill on a 94-1 vote, with GOP Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri casting the lone no vote. Biden is expected to sign the bill into law as soon as Thursday.
The commander of the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) Asian Hate Crimes Task Force said anti-Asian hate crimes in the state are “absolutely not new,” despite the recent spike in the number of offenses.
Anyone in need of food assistance can register to take part in this food distribution event made possible by the SWITCHFOOT BRO-AM Foundation, Feed San Diego and Suja Juice.
