Bill > HRes516

This resolution condemns the violent riots that occurred in Los Angeles, California in June 2025, which erupted in response to immigration enforcement actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The resolution details how peaceful protests quickly escalated into widespread violence, including arson, looting, property destruction, and assaults on law enforcement officers. It highlights that over 561 rioters were arrested, 12 Los Angeles Police Department officers were injured, and several public services were disrupted, including the closure of a veterans' ambulatory care center and a HUD field office. The resolution criticizes California's leadership, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom, for allegedly failing to effectively manage the unrest, and calls out media outlets and some members of Congress for characterizing the riots as peaceful. Ultimately, the resolution recognizes the right to peaceful assembly, strongly condemns violence against law enforcement, calls for cooperation between local, state, and federal authorities to restore peace, and expresses gratitude to various law enforcement agencies for their efforts to maintain public safety during the riots.
