Relating to: condemning the pardons and sentence commutations of individuals involved in the violent attack on law enforcement officers at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
AI Summary
This resolution condemns the presidential pardons and sentence commutations issued on January 20, 2025, by President Donald Trump for individuals who were involved in the January 6, 2021 violent attack on U.S. Capitol Police officers. The resolution highlights the critical role of law enforcement officers who risk their lives daily to protect communities, and specifically supports the Wisconsin State Capitol Police in their work of protecting legislators, constitutional officers, justices, staff, state employees, and the public. The Wisconsin State Legislature aligns with statements from the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Fraternal Order of Police, which argue that crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety, but attacks on society that undermine the rule of law. By issuing this resolution, the legislature is formally expressing its strong disapproval of pardoning individuals who committed violent crimes against law enforcement officers during the January 6 Capitol riot.
