following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning the Violent Attacks on Law Enforcement Offi-
cers and Military Servicemembers, and the Destruction 
of Personal Property in Los Angeles, California. 
Whereas, the Federal Government, through U.S. Immigration 
and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is mandated by law to 
enforce immigration statutes that safeguard national se-
curity, public safety, and national sovereignty; 
Whereas, on June 6, 2025, Federal immigration enforcement 
operations in Los Angeles prompted widespread protests 
that escalated into violent riots; 
Whereas, during these riots, Federal buildings and taxpayer- 
funded properties were vandalized, law enforcement offi-
cers were assaulted, and American flags were desecrated,

resulting in significant damage and chaos in downtown 
Los Angeles; 
Whereas, rioters engaged in acts of destruction, including the 
looting of small businesses, blocking of public roadways, 
arson of police vehicles, and other forms of violence and 
disorder; 
Whereas, sanctuary city policies adopted by certain munici-
palities—including Los Angeles—have undermined Fed-
eral immigration enforcement efforts by shielding individ-
uals unlawfully present in the United States, including 
those with criminal backgrounds, from deportation; 
Whereas, these policies, championed by certain state and local 
officials, have contributed to the erosion of public order 
and safety; 
Whereas, in response to the unrest, President Donald J. 
Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National 
Guard troops to Los Angeles to assist in restoring order 
and protecting public safety; 
Whereas, this Federal response was supported by national se-
curity and law enforcement officials, but publicly opposed 
by California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles 
Mayor Karen Bass; 
Whereas, instead of condemning the violence and supporting 
efforts to restore order, Governor Newsom challenged the 
President’s actions and sought to prevent the National 
Guard from operating in the state; 
Whereas, Mayor Bass and other city leaders have consistently 
promoted sanctuary city policies and opposed Federal im-
migration enforcement, thereby undermining the rule of 
law; and

•HRES 494 IH 
Whereas, public officials who actively obstruct lawful Federal 
operations and fail to condemn or prevent violent unrest 
bear responsibility for undermining public safety and 
eroding respect for the rule of law; 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns in the strongest possible terms 
the actions and decisions of Governor Gavin Newsom 
and Mayor Karen Bass to obstruct Federal immigra-
tion enforcement and allow the continuation of un-
lawful sanctuary policies; 
(2) denounces the acts of violence, arson, and 
civil unrest that occurred in Los Angeles, and af-
firms that such conduct constitutes a threat to pub-
lic safety and national stability; 
(3) affirms the constitutional duty of Federal 
agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement, to enforce immigration laws, and con-
demns any state or local government efforts to inter-
fere with or undermine those duties; and 
(4) supports the lawful prosecution of any indi-
vidual, regardless of immigration status, who en-
gages in acts of violence against Federal agents or 
law enforcement personnel.
