Commemorating the 5-year remembrance of the April 15, 2021, mass shooting at a FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, and denouncing all forms of anti-Asian hate, including the resurgence of xenophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric.

This resolution commemorates the 5-year anniversary of the tragic mass shooting that occurred on April 15, 2021, at the FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, which resulted in the loss of eight lives, including four members of the Indianapolis Sikh community. It highlights that this incident took place amidst a documented surge in anti-Asian hate crimes, xenophobic rhetoric, and violence targeting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities across the United States. The resolution notes that inflammatory narratives often disenfranchise and dehumanize Muslim, Arab, South Asian, Hindu, and Sikh communities, leading to increased discrimination and violence.

The House of Representatives condemns this heinous act of gun violence and honors the memory of the victims, offering condolences to their families and communities. It specifically condemns acts of violence, bigotry, and discrimination against South Asian Americans, Arabs, Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, along with White supremacist rhetoric and the administration's crackdown on immigrant communities. The resolution calls for the restoration and expansion of federal programs aimed at improving hate crime data collection and prevention efforts, such as those under the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, and urges the administration to reverse its anti-immigrant policies, reaffirming the government's commitment to protecting the civil and human rights of all people in the United States.
