Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution expresses House support for the President's national security actions against foreign terrorist organizations, specifically targeting groups like Tren de Aragua and MS-13. The resolution affirms that the President, acting as Commander in Chief, has executive authority to detain, deport, or restrict non-citizens identified as members of designated foreign terrorist organizations. According to the resolution's account, the President invoked the Alien Enemies Act in March 2025 to deport noncitizen members of these groups to El Salvador, where they were transferred to that country's detention facility. This is a non-binding resolution expressing support rather than creating new law or appropriating funds, and it affects the treatment of foreign nationals designated as members of terrorist organizations. The resolution essentially endorses the executive branch's use of existing legal authority to combat what it characterizes as threats to national security from transnational criminal and terrorist groups.
