119th (2025–2027)
H.Res. 650
This House resolution condemns what its supporters characterize as racist congressional redistricting in Texas allegedly ordered by President Trump. The resolution references a July 2025 letter from the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to Texas officials claiming that four congressional districts (TX-09, TX-18, TX-29, and TX-33) constitute unconstitutional racial gerrymandering and threatening legal action under the 14th Amendment if not corrected. The resolution argues that Texas has a history of voting rights discrimination and contends that targeting these districts for elimination—where voters of color have elected representatives of color—continues that discriminatory pattern. This is a congressional resolution expressing opposition to the redistricting; it does not appropriate funds, establish timelines, or create new law, but rather serves as a formal statement of the House's position on the Texas congressional map.
