Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, objects to installing metal detectors at the doors of the House floor.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Wednesday said the chamber plans to adopt new rules charging members fines for refusing to go through newly installed metal detectors in the U.S. Capitol or refusing to comply with security following last week’s deadly assault.
The fines $5,000 for a first-time offense and $10,000 for a second one – will go into effect when the House returns to session on Jan. 21 and will be taken out of members pay, a news release from the speaker s office said.
Pelosi in a statement said she expressed her deepest gratitude to the U.S. Capitol Police for the valor that they showed during the pro-Trump riot and claimed some Republicans disrespected our heroes by verbally abusing them and refusing to adhere to basic precautions, when they refused to go through the metal detectors.
House GOP lawmakers spoke out Tuesday night against a security policy requiring members to pass through metal detectors before they entered the chamber.
