Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, and Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 741 is a congressional resolution that acknowledges the discrimination and government targeting that Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities experienced following the September 11, 2001 attacks. The resolution documents how these communities faced hate crimes, discriminatory police practices, surveillance, wrongful detention, and deportations in the years after 9/11—including programs like the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System that resulted in zero terror convictions despite devastating community impacts. The resolution does not allocate specific funding amounts or establish firm timelines, but instead calls for Congress to create an independent commission to review government profiling policies, hold hearings on the commission's findings, provide resources to community organizations for victim support and alternatives to law enforcement, and direct the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation to study the health impacts of hate and government targeting on these communities. This resolution is essentially a statement of congressional acknowledgment and a roadmap for future actions rather than binding legislation with immediate funding or enforcement mechanisms.
