UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n luego de que la C\u00e1mara aprobara la <i>Ley de Justicia en la Polic\u00eda de George Floyd<\/i>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGeorge Floyd deber\u00eda estar vivo hoy. Tambi\u00e9n deber\u00edan hacerlo Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Philando Castile, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice y tantos otros que han sido asesinados por la brutalidad policial. Cada uno de estos estadounidenses ten\u00eda esperanzas y sue\u00f1os que cumplir, e innumerables hitos alegres por experimentar. Mi coraz\u00f3n est\u00e1 con sus familias y seres queridos mientras soportan el dolor demoledor de este duelo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPero obviamente, los pensamientos y las oraciones no son suficientes. Debemos estar hombro con hombro con los afligidos, reconocer que el racismo sist\u00e9mico ha plagado el pasado y el presente de nuestra naci\u00f3n y evitar que envenene nuestro futuro. La polic\u00eda tiene un trabajo duro, y aplaudo a quienes se levantan todos los d\u00edas para emprender un trabajo peligroso con el objetivo de brindar justicia justa y equitativa a todos los miembros de la comunidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPero incluso los departamentos mejor administrados y las personas bien intencionadas a menudo operan dentro de un sistema defectuoso. Necesitamos un cambio sist\u00e9mico, incluida la prohibici\u00f3n de los estrangulamientos y las \u00f3rdenes de arresto; crear una base de datos nacional sobre mala conducta policial; reformar la inmunidad calificada; y exigir el uso de c\u00e1maras en el tablero y en el cuerpo.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;El <i>Ley de Justicia en la Polic\u00eda de George Floyd<\/i> incluye todas esas reformas y m\u00e1s, y agradezco a mis colegas en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes que hoy se pronunciaron por el progreso y la justicia al votar para aprobarlo. Espero apoyar esta ley en el Senado y verla promulgada por el presidente Biden. Debemos asegurarnos de que todos los estadounidenses, independientemente del color de su piel o de d\u00f3nde vivan, tengan el mismo derecho a la libertad y la justicia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMartin Luther King, Jr. dijo &#039;siempre es el momento adecuado para hacer lo correcto&#039;. Las vidas estadounidenses dependen de ello, y ahora es el momento de actuar\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>En 2020, Merkley us\u00f3 su puesto en el Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones del Senado para ayudar a asegurar m\u00e1s de $1 mil millones en recursos adicionales para el Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU., incluida la Divisi\u00f3n de Derechos Civiles, que investiga las jurisdicciones policiales por irregularidades. Merkley tambi\u00e9n ha insistido constantemente en la necesidad de prohibir a las entidades federales, incluidos los agentes del orden p\u00fablico, el uso de la tecnolog\u00eda de reconocimiento facial, que est\u00e1 plagada de inexactitudes y sesgos sist\u00e9micos que afectan de manera desproporcionada a las comunidades de color. Con ese fin, \u00e9l y el senador estadounidense Edward J. Markey se unieron a los representantes Pramila Jayapal (D-WA-07), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-07), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-13) y Katherine Clark (D-MA -05) para introducir el <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/merkley-colleagues-introduce-legislation-to-ban-government-use-of-facial-recognition-and-other-biometric-technology-2020\/\"><i>Ley de moratoria de tecnolog\u00eda biom\u00e9trica y reconocimiento facial<\/i><\/a>, y se asoci\u00f3 con el Senador Cory Booker (D-NJ) para presentar el <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/merkley-booker-introduce-legislation-to-prohibit-irresponsible-government-use-of-facial-recognition-technology-2020\/\"><i>Ley de uso \u00e9tico del reconocimiento facial<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.&mdash;Oregon&rsquo;s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement today following the House passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act: &ldquo;George Floyd should be alive today.
