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 commemorates the five-year anniversary of the mass shooting that occurred on April 15, 2021, at a FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis, Indiana.

It specifically addresses the targeting of South Asian, Muslim, Arab, Hindu, and Sikh communities. Furthermore, it calls for the restoration of various federal programs aimed at preventing hate crimes. Finally, it urges the administration to reverse anti-immigrant policies and restore immigration processing.
