This resolution formally recognizes the annual celebration of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, in the United States and globally, acknowledging its deep historical roots in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican cultures. It honors the rich cultural contributions of Mexican-American, Latino, and Indigenous communities, emphasizing the traditions of remembrance, family, and community embodied by the holiday. The resolution celebrates the remembrance of loved ones who have enriched the United States, reinforcing familial bonds and the importance of honoring ancestry. Beyond cultural recognition, the resolution expresses condolences to families remembering loved ones, particularly those who died while in immigration detention or as a result of enforcement actions. It specifically urges the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and other relevant agencies to protect the health, dignity, civil rights, and family unity of individuals in immigration custody. Furthermore, it encourages community organizations, educational institutions, and all levels of government to collaborate in raising awareness about Dia de los Muertos to foster intercultural understanding and promote remembrance practices that respect heritage and human dignity.
