A Senate panel on Wednesday morning passed an amendment to bar using active-duty military troops against protesters in the wake of riots, looting, and peaceful protests following George Floyd’s death.

The amendment was introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), and it was approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee in a voice vote on Wednesday, according to a statement from the senator’s office. The amendment was part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
