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 denounces an antisemitic terrorist attack that occurred in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025. The attack was committed by Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who used homemade Molotov cocktails against peaceful demonstrators. The resolution notes that the attack wounded at least 14 people, including a reported Holocaust survivor. It highlights that the attacker was in the United States on a tourist visa and subsequently filed an asylum application in violation of his visa terms. The text also addresses the need for aggressive vetting of visa applicants and the importance of removing aliens who fail to comply with visa terms. Finally, it criticizes Colorado's policies as a sanctuary state and calls for better communication between state and federal law enforcement.
