The Mississippi House of Representatives voted 76 to 38 to pass a bill creating a new court system within the Capitol Complex Improvement District and expanding the district.

Now they already have the capitol police.

We covered the fatal shooting of Jaylen Lewis, who was killed by this newly formed force in October. That family is still waiting for answers.

Last night, republican lawmakers voted on the controversial bill following
hours of debate on the house floor.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Tray Lamar sponsored the bill. He says the new court system would help deal with a backlog of criminal cases.

The bill would establish a separate court system with two judges appointed by the Mississippi Supreme Court chief justice.

Jackson's mayor, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, says this is an effort to seize the city.
