Bill > HRes303

This resolution recognizes Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan criminal organization, as a terrorist group perpetrating an invasion of the United States. The resolution cites historical precedent through the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which allows the President to take action against foreign threats, and references specific incidents of violence committed by Tren de Aragua members, including the murder of Laken Hope Riley and attacks on law enforcement. The document notes that as of March 2025, the group is present in at least 19 states and has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by a presidential executive order. The resolution affirms President Donald J. Trump's proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to address this perceived invasion, and it formally recognizes the group's members as "alien enemies" who can be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed from the United States. The underlying context suggests a strong stance against illegal immigration and criminal activities by non-state foreign actors, framing the group's presence as a direct threat to national security.
