a basis for such legislative and other action as the House 
of Representatives may deem necessary and proper: Now, 
therefore be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the 
United States, is found in contempt of the House of 
Representatives for disobeying the February 27, 
2024, subpoena; and

tives shall issue a warrant commanding the Sergeant 
at Arms or the deputy of the Sergeant at Arms to 
take into custody the body of Attorney General Gar-
land wherever found, and to bring Attorney General

tives, then and there to answer such questions perti-
nent to the matter under inquiry as the House of

Ending campus encampments.

threats and acts of violence, harassment, and other dis-
ruptive behavior; 
Whereas some universities have responded by evenhandedly 
enforcing the law and clearing the encampments, and 
have emphasized the right of students to protest and ex-
press their opinions in innumerable ways, while making 
it clear that acts in violation of the law or university 
rules will not be tolerated; 
Whereas other universities have decided to ignore the law and 
ignore their own policies, allowing encampments and

have been arrested on campuses of institutions of higher

Whereas some reporting has identified ‘‘many American flags

Whereas thousands of patriotic law enforcement officials have 
spent countless hours protecting the people of the United 
States from the violence at these protests; 
Whereas violent, anti-American and anti-Israel protestors re-
placed the American flag at City College of New York 
with the Palestinian flag; 
Whereas patriotic New York Police Department officials re-

checked for weeks; 
Whereas individuals occupying encampments have made de-
mands of universities such as divesting from companies 
tied to Israel, cutting ties with Hillel campus programs, 
and ending study abroad programs to Israel; 
Whereas some universities have negotiated with those in the 
encampments and agreed to their demands around 
changes in university policy, such as at Northwestern 
University, Brown University, Rutgers University, Johns 
Hopkins University, the University of Minnesota, and the 
University of California, Riverside; 
Whereas other universities have canceled classes, moved to 
online meetings, or canceled graduation ceremonies, such 
as at Columbia University; the University of California, 
Los Angeles; the University of California, San Diego; and 
Emory University; 
Whereas these encampments and the criminal behavior con-
nected to them, such as threats or acts of violence, block-
ing or occupying buildings, harassment, or other disrup-
tive behavior, are not protected by the First Amendment; 
Whereas, to the contrary, they disrupt the operation of the 
university and the academic freedom and speech rights of 
other students; 
Whereas protecting free speech is foundational to the purpose 
of a university, which means universities should encour-
age free and open expression in speech, writing, listening, 
challenging, and learning, while not shielding students 
from ideas the university disagrees with or limiting ex-
pression on the basis of content; and

Whereas a commitment to free speech does not mean univer-
sities should tolerate harassment, vandalism, the pro-
motion of violence, the destruction of property, the ob-
struction of freedom of movement, or other unlawful acts: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) finds canceling classes and commencements 
in response to unlawful encampments is unaccept-
able and unfair to the majority of students; 
(2) condemns any negotiation where a univer-
sity changes its policy in response to the demands of 
those occupying illegal encampments, including de-
mands to end study abroad programs to Israel, cut 
ties with Hillel, and divest from companies associ-
ated with Israel; and 
(3) calls on universities across the country to 
work with local law enforcement to immediately clear 
tent encampments from university property and re-
store safe learning environments on their campuses, 
and further resolves that noncompliant students, 
faculty, or staff be subject to appropriate con-
sequences.
