House would condemn policies that favor foreign nationals in crime cases.

This resolution shows the House of Representatives' strong disapproval of certain ways crimes are handled. It condemns policies that give foreign nationals special treatment over U.S. citizens in criminal cases. The resolution also asks state and local prosecutors to treat all people accused of crimes the same, no matter their immigration status.

What Would Change

Today, some state and local prosecutors have policies that consider a person's immigration status when prosecuting crimes, which the resolution claims can lead to foreign nationals receiving special treatment. If this resolution passes, the House of Representatives would formally state its disapproval of these policies and urge prosecutors to treat everyone equally, but it would not legally change any existing prosecution policies.

Key Provisions
