H. Res. 767 is a non-binding House of Representatives resolution expressing the sense of Congress that violent attacks against United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities and officers are unacceptable and must be fully condemned. It affirms congressional support for ICE’s mission to protect national security, public safety, and the enforcement of immigration laws. The resolution references a series of violent incidents in 2025 targeting ICE facilities and personnel, condemns them, and calls on various federal, state, and local law enforcement bodies to investigate attacks, strengthen coordination, improve training and equipment, and address digital threats such as doxxing and tracking technologies. It also urges public officials and media to reject rhetoric that incites hostility toward ICE or law enforcement personnel. The bill is introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to Judiciary, Homeland Security, and Foreign Affairs committees; as a resolution, it is a statement of sentiment rather than a new law or funding authorization.
