Bill > HRes741

This resolution acknowledges the significant discrimination, hate, and government targeting experienced by Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities in the United States following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The resolution condemns racism, xenophobia, and religious bigotry, recognizing that these communities faced widespread violence, including murders, workplace and public harassment, and systemic government discrimination through policies like the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, which required men and boys from predominantly Muslim countries to register and undergo invasive interviews. It calls for creating an independent commission to review and investigate government policies that unfairly profiled these communities, supports allocating resources to community-based organizations to prevent hate crimes and provide comprehensive support to victims, and recommends that the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation study the physical and mental health impacts of hate, government targeting, and political rhetoric on these communities. The resolution also highlights that despite these challenges, these communities have demonstrated resilience and continue to advocate for civil and human rights.
