Report: Biden to soon sign executive actions on police reform
President Biden plans to sign executive actions on police reform in the near future, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The details are still being worked out, but may be finalized by the beginning of Black History Month in February, the sources said. In September, the Department of Justice announced new policies prohibiting the use of chokeholds unless deadly force is authorized and limiting "no-knock" warrants, and NBC News says it's not yet clear how Biden's executive actions will differ.
