The Senate Resolution condemns the violent attack on the United States Capitol that occurred on January 6, 2021, which disrupted the peaceful transfer of power and resulted in significant injuries to law enforcement officers, particularly the Capitol Police. The resolution highlights the extraordinary courage and professionalism displayed by the Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies in defending the Capitol against the mob, emphasizing that the insurrection was an attack not only on the building but also on the rule of law and American democratic values.

Furthermore, the resolution denounces the presidential pardons issued by President Trump on January 20, 2025, for individuals involved in the insurrection, particularly those who assaulted police officers. It argues that these pardons betray the sacrifices made by law enforcement and undermine the accountability necessary for maintaining public safety and the rule of law. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to key government officials, including the President and members of Congress, to ensure awareness of this condemnation.
