This resolution acknowledges the profound psychological impact of immigration enforcement overreach on individuals, their families, and their communities, citing concerns such as increased anxiety, hypervigilance, and family separation. It highlights the deep roots of many undocumented immigrants in American society and the significant number of mixed-status households, including millions of U.S.-citizen children living with undocumented family members. The resolution notes the expansion of detention capacity and expedited deportations, which it argues strip due process rights and disproportionately affect poor people and racial minorities. The House of Representatives condemns U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tactics that allow for unreasonable searches and seizures and erode due process, equal protection, and freedom from discrimination. It affirms Congress's role in holding federal immigration officers accountable, conducting oversight investigations of ICE detention centers, and preventing abuses of Executive power. Furthermore, the resolution calls on the Administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to gather data on the mental health impacts of enforcement overreach and urges the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide culturally comprehensive mental health services to directly impacted communities.
