Whereas South Asian Americans and other immigrant com-
munities are too often painted as threats rather than val-
ued for their contributions to this Nation; and 
Whereas the President’s rhetoric and actions are terrifying 
many American families: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) expresses its deepest sympathy and condo-

well as to Alok Madasani, Ian Grillot, and all victims 
of hate crime throughout the United States; 
(2) urges the Department of Justice to carry 
out a full hate crime investigation into these attacks 
and ensure that adequate funding and resources are 
available to carry out other hate crimes investiga-
tions, including additional funding for Civil Rights 
Division prosecutors and Community Relations Serv-
ice professionals; and 
(3) calls on the President to end his inflam-
matory rhetoric and policies, which have created a 
climate of fear within and amongst communities 
across the country.
