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
H. Res. 26 is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives that officially deems certain conduct of Antifa members and unlawful conduct at Antifa-affiliated demonstrations as domestic terrorism. The text outlines a long list of past events, riots, property damage, and attacks on law enforcement attributed to Antifa members and groups across various cities. Based on these findings, the resolution formally designates Antifa and its subsidiaries as a domestic terrorist organization. Additionally, it calls on the Department of Justice to prosecute these crimes and use all available tools to combat the spread of domestic terrorism committed by the group.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Support for Law Enforcement and Public Safety: The resolution calls on the Department of Justice to prosecute crimes of domestic terrorism committed by Antifa and to use all available resources to combat its spread under resolved section (3). This could be seen as a positive step for individuals who support stricter accountability for individuals involved in violent riots, property destruction, and attacks on police officers as detailed throughout the text.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Broad Definition of Unlawful Conduct: Resolved section (1) deems "any unlawful conduct performed at an Antifa-affiliated demonstration" to be domestic terrorism. This could place burdens or legal consequences on individuals participating in demonstrations if associated groups are tied to Antifa, potentially impacting broader rights to protest depending on how broadly authorities apply the designation.
