Condemning antisemitism and remembering Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution is a simple House resolution expressing the House's view: it condemns antisemitism, honors the two victims, and supports enforcing hate-crime laws. It does not create binding federal law or change existing statutes. It is a formal statement by the House and does not apply to the Senate or require the President's approval.
As a simple resolution, it can be passed by the House alone, is not sent to the President, and does not have the force of law.
This House resolution condemns antisemitism, memorializes Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, and condemns the terrorist killings that took their lives.
It notes the assailant’s reported far-left affiliation with the Party for Socialism and Liberation and calls for enforcement of existing hate-crime, religious-freedom, and victim-justice laws.
The measure is a nonbinding statement of the House’s position and remembrance.
As a simple, non-binding House resolution it may pass the House but does not become law absent separate Senate and presidential action.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward symbolic resolution: it clearly states and condemns antisemitism and memorializes two individuals, with limited action-oriented content.
All sides support condemning antisemitism; disagree on partisan language
