Bill > H5545

This Resolution, originating from the House of Representatives of Rhode Island, urges government officials and citizens to critically examine the constitutionality and morality of laws and orders issued by the Trump administration before implementing them. It specifically calls on military and national guard personnel to refuse violent repression of peaceful protests, border and immigration officials to avoid unconstitutional discrimination, and regulatory officials to refrain from suppressing or falsifying information. The resolution also encourages national security and judiciary officials to hold the administration accountable to existing legal standards and implores citizens serving on juries to protect others from oppressive actions based on various protected characteristics, emphasizing a shared moral responsibility to uphold national principles and rights.
