A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution serves to recognize U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their efforts to protect communities from illegal aliens and violent criminals. It highlights the disruptions ICE causes to foreign criminal and drug networks to improve citizen safety. The text notes a significant increase in death threats and assaults against DHS personnel and ICE agents. It also addresses a lack of data sharing between some state/local agencies and federal officers. Finally, the resolution acknowledges ICE officers taking on extra duties at airports during a partial government shutdown.
