The House of Representatives passed a pair of bills aimed at cracking down on crime in Washington, D.C., late on Tuesday afternoon, with dozens of Democrats voting against each one.

The first bill advanced through the House was the DC Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make Everyone Safe Act, or the DC CRIMES Act.

It passed the House by a 240-179 vote, with all “no” votes coming from Democrats. Just 31 Democrats voted in favor of the bill.
