Whereas Representative Ogles is abusing his office by calling 
on United States Attorney General Pam Bondi to deport 
a Muslim-American Democratic nominee, whom he dis-
parages 
as 
‘‘little

simply 
because 
Assemblymember Mamdani is Muslim; 
Whereas Representative Ogles’s public statements suggest a 
willingness to silence political positions and target natu-
ralized citizens by weaponizing the Department of Justice 
and our Nation’s immigration laws; 
Whereas targeting a political candidate or any American cit-
izen for deportation based solely on their lawful political 
views represents an authoritarian impulse contradictory 
with the Constitution of the United States; 
Whereas anti-Muslim hate, racism, and ethnic slurs have no 
place in public discourse, and only serve to divide and en-

Honoring the memory of the victims of the 1967 Newark riots and

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 14, 2025 
Mrs. MCIVER (for herself, Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN, and Mr. CONAWAY) sub-

the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the memory of the victims of the 1967 Newark 
riots and acknowledging the enduring impact on the 
Newark community. 
Whereas the 1967 Newark riots were a significant period of 
civil unrest that occurred from July 12 to July 17, 1967, 
in Newark, New Jersey, resulting in the loss of 26 lives, 
injuries to over 700 individuals, and more than 1,400 ar-
rests; 
Whereas the unrest was sparked by the arrest and brutal 
treatment of a Black taxicab driver, John William Smith, 
by White police officers, igniting longstanding frustra-
tions related to systemic racism, economic disparities, 
discrimination, and police brutality within the Black com-
munity;

Whereas the events that followed led to widespread protests, 
looting, violent clashes, and extensive property damage 
across Newark, with most of the destruction impacting 
Black neighborhoods and businesses; 
Whereas the deployment of the National Guard and State 
Police, involving approximately 7,900 personnel, was 
marked by reports of excessive force and further esca-
lated tensions between law enforcement and Newark resi-
dents; 
Whereas the Newark riots exposed the deep racial tensions 
and poverty that disproportionately affected Black resi-
dents, who faced unemployment, substandard housing, 
and lack of access to quality education and health care; 
Whereas the events in Newark were part of the broader 
‘‘Long Hot Summer of 1967’’, during which over 150 in-
stances of civil unrest occurred across the United States, 
highlighting pervasive racial inequities and injustices; 
Whereas, despite the significant loss and suffering caused by 
the riots, the events also served as a catalyst for change, 
sparking local and national conversations about racial 
justice, police accountability, and the need for meaningful 
economic and social reforms in underserved communities; 
Whereas Governor Richard J. Hughes created the Governor’s 
Select Commission for the Study of Civil Disorder in New 
Jersey, also known as the ‘‘Lilley Commission’’, which 
cited neglected social, political, and economic issues and 
frustrations as key factors to the urban unrest; 
Whereas the 1968 report by the National Advisory Commis-
sion on Civil Disorders, known as the Kerner Commis-
sion, identified systemic racism, economic inequality, and

Whereas the community in Newark organized sufficiently to 
negotiate with Federal, State, and local officials to con-
ceive of and implement long term partial solutions for low 
income housing, access to job training, jobs, and access 
to better health care; and 
Whereas the legacy of the 1967 Newark riots continues to in-
fluence the social, economic, and political landscape of 
Newark, serving as a poignant reminder of the necessity 
for ongoing efforts toward racial justice and equality; and 
Whereas we must honor the memories of those affected by 
the riots, recognize the historical significance of the 
events, and acknowledge the ongoing struggles faced by 
communities impacted by systemic inequality in New Jer-
sey and nationwide and the ability of the community to 
design and implement solutions with the help of State 
and Federal resources: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors the memory of the individuals who 
lost their lives and acknowledges the suffering of 
those injured and affected during the 1967 Newark 
riots; 
(2) recognizes the profound and enduring im-

Newark and the broader national discourse on civil 
rights and social justice; and

ball programs for women and girls; and 
Whereas the expansion of high school and collegiate flag foot-
ball programs for girls would be beneficial not only to the 
girls and women joining such programs, but also for 
towns, cities, counties, States and communities through-
out the United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives encour-
ages all public, private, and charter high schools, colleges, 
and universities to establish and support flag football pro-
grams for girls and women to expand upon existing en-
deavors and opportunities.
