This resolution is Congress formally reacting to a specific, violent event: the July 7, 2025, attack on a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, which injured agents and local police officers.

The Official Condemnation

What this bill does is straightforward: it serves as a formal statement from the House of Representatives condemning the violence. Resolutions like this don't change any laws or appropriate any money; they are the legislative branch using its voice to send a message. The core of the resolution is a strong denouncement of the attack, making it clear that violence against federal law enforcement is unacceptable and undermines the rule of law and national security work.

Standing with the Agents

Beyond the condemnation, the resolution focuses heavily on support for the people involved. It expresses the House’s deepest sympathy to the personnel injured during the incident, wishing them a quick and full recovery. For the agents and officers who work these high-risk jobs, this is Congress publicly affirming that their work is recognized and that they are not alone when facing danger. It specifically reaffirms full support for the U.S. Border Patrol as they continue their mission to secure the nation's borders.

A Message of Solidarity

For the community of McAllen, Texas, the resolution includes a statement of solidarity. When a federal facility in your town is attacked, it affects the whole community, often tying up local resources and causing widespread concern.
