(December 10, 2025) \u2013 Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03), Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Reps. Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) and Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) reintroduced legislation to ban no-knock warrants, the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act. The bill is named after Breonna Taylor, who was killed in March 2020 during a police raid on her Louisville home under the authority of a no-knock warrant.\n\nSince the bill\u2019s introduction last year, former Kentucky police detective Brett Hankison has been found guilty of violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights, sparking a renewed push for a nationwide ban on the dangerous tactic that allows law enforcement to forcibly enter and raid a home without warning.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s been five years since Breonna Taylor was killed by police, and we continue to grieve the life she should still be living today,\u201d said Rep. McGarvey. \u201cNo law can right that wrong, but we can honor her memory by fighting for the justice she was never given. An homage to the heroic life Breonna lived as an EMT, this bill will save countless lives by banning the dangerous and deadly use of no-knock warrants nationwide. I\u2019m grateful for Senators Rand Paul and Cory Booker and Reps. Yvette Clarke and Jasmine Crockett for their steadfast commitment to protecting civil liberties in this country and getting Breonna Taylor the overdue justice she deserves.\u201d\n\n\u201cKentucky recognized that no-knock warrants pose serious and unnecessary risks to both the public and law enforcement, and wisely restricted their use,\u201d said Senator Rand Paul. The federal government should follow Kentucky\u2019s lead and ensure this high-risk tactic is constrained.\u201d\n\n\u201cBreonna devoted her career to caring for others and saving lives. A national ban on no-knock warrants is a safeguard worthy of her legacy,\u201d said Amber Duke, Executive Director of the ACLU of Kentucky. \u201cIt sets a clear standard for law enforcement and moves us closer to a system where safety does not come at the expense of our constitutional rights. We are grateful for the continued leadership of Congressman Morgan McGarvey and the bill\u2019s co-sponsors working to create lasting change.\u201d\n\nThe full text of the bill can be found here.\n\n###\n\nCongressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky\u2019s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County.
