WASHINGTON The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to pass bipartisan legislation intended to curb hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Thursday, an issue that has spiked during the pandemic.
Written in part by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., the legislation expedites review of hate crimes by the U.S. Department of Justice and bolster reporting mechanisms. It is expected to pass the House and be signed into law by President Joe Biden. Led by Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, the bill would be the eighth signed into law by Biden.
