Los decretos de consentimiento son poderosas herramientas de supervisi\u00f3n que permiten al Departamento de Justicia combatir el abuso policial y obligar a los departamentos de polic\u00eda locales a adoptar reformas significativas.<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wordsection1\">Esa pr\u00e1ctica se detuvo por completo en la administraci\u00f3n Trump. El exfiscal general Jeff Sessions restringi\u00f3 severamente la capacidad del Departamento de Justicia para implementar estas poderosas herramientas al emitir una gu\u00eda que limitaba el uso de los decretos de consentimiento. Esa gu\u00eda debilit\u00f3 a una Divisi\u00f3n que ya ten\u00eda una capacidad limitada para llevar a cabo investigaciones de patrones o pr\u00e1cticas debido a restricciones de financiamiento. Si bien el Fiscal General Garland anunci\u00f3 recientemente la rescisi\u00f3n de ese memorando, el ataque de la Administraci\u00f3n Trump a los decretos de consentimiento demuestra la necesidad de que el Congreso proporcione autoridad y recursos adicionales para que el Departamento de Justicia lleve a cabo estas investigaciones, y brinde a los gobiernos estatales los fondos y las herramientas necesarias para actuar en caso DOJ no lo har\u00e1.<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"wordsection1\"><b>&quot;Los decretos de consentimiento son herramientas esenciales para garantizar que las fuerzas del orden locales cumplan con la Constituci\u00f3n y no discriminen a nadie en sus comunidades&quot;. <\/b>wyden dijo<b>. \u201cEl hecho de que el Departamento de Justicia de Donald Trump no haya utilizado esta herramienta comprobada demuestra claramente la necesidad de esta legislaci\u00f3n que reconoce que estos decretos necesitan una supervisi\u00f3n constante para mantener la responsabilidad de los departamentos de polic\u00eda con registros de actuaci\u00f3n policial inconstitucional.<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wordsection1\"><b>\u201cVivimos en un pa\u00eds donde los departamentos de polic\u00eda a menudo ven a algunas personas de una comunidad como clientes a los que protegen y a otras como una amenaza. Eso es inaceptable\u201d, <\/b>dijo Merkley. <b>\u201cTodos los estadounidenses, independientemente del color de su piel o su c\u00f3digo postal, merecen ser tratados con respeto por los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley y poder vivir sin temor a la brutalidad policial. Si queremos convertir esa visi\u00f3n en una realidad, debemos asegurarnos de que los departamentos de polic\u00eda que se involucran en un patr\u00f3n de comportamiento discriminatorio rindan cuentas\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wordsection1\">El <em>Ley de Mejora de la Supervisi\u00f3n para Terminar con la Discriminaci\u00f3n en la Polic\u00eda de 2021 <\/em>har\u00eda:<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facultar a los fiscales generales estatales para que lleven a cabo investigaciones y casos de patrones o pr\u00e1cticas, proporcionando un respaldo cr\u00edtico si el DOJ no act\u00faa, y crear un programa de subvenciones para ayudar a los estados a llevar a cabo investigaciones y decretos de consentimiento.<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/li>\n<li>Triplicar los fondos para la Divisi\u00f3n de Derechos Civiles del DOJ y dedicar $100 millones por a\u00f1o durante los pr\u00f3ximos 10 a\u00f1os a la Divisi\u00f3n para llevar a cabo estas investigaciones en los departamentos de polic\u00eda con un historial de participaci\u00f3n en pr\u00e1cticas policiales inconstitucionales y discriminatorias.<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/li>\n<li>Aliente al DOJ a mirar m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los mecanismos tradicionales de aplicaci\u00f3n de la ley cuando dise\u00f1e remedios con los departamentos de polic\u00eda, y considere mecanismos de reforma como el apoyo a la salud mental, los organismos de supervisi\u00f3n civil y los programas de justicia restaurativa basados en la comunidad.<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/li>\n<li>Evitar los conflictos de intereses en las investigaciones de patrones y pr\u00e1cticas al prohibir que ciertos funcionarios sean designados para entablar acciones federales por infracciones de patrones y pr\u00e1cticas si hubiera un conflicto de intereses.<u5_p><\/u5_p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wordsection1\">Adem\u00e1s de Wyden y Merkley, la <em>Ley de Mejora de la Supervisi\u00f3n para Terminar con la Discriminaci\u00f3n en la Polic\u00eda<\/em> presentado por la senadora estadounidense Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) est\u00e1 copatrocinado por los senadores estadounidenses Edward J.
