H.Res. 494
H.Res. 494 is a congressional resolution condemning violent riots that occurred in Los Angeles on June 6, 2025, following federal immigration enforcement operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The resolution specifically criticizes California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for opposing President Trump's deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order and for maintaining sanctuary city policies that the resolution says shield undocumented immigrants from deportation. The resolution does not allocate funding or establish timelines, as resolutions are expressions of the House's position rather than legislation that becomes law. Instead, it serves as a statement affirming federal authority to enforce immigration laws, condemning the violence and property destruction that occurred, and holding state and local officials accountable for what the resolution characterizes as obstruction of federal operations and failure to prevent civil unrest.
