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 and protecting members of Congress during the insurrection. It emphasizes that this attack was not only an assault on the Capitol but also on the rule of law and the values of American democracy.

Furthermore, the resolution denounces the use of presidential pardon power by President Trump to absolve individuals involved in the insurrection, particularly those who assaulted police officers. It notes that among the 1,500 pardoned individuals, many were convicted of violent crimes against law enforcement, which undermines the rule of law and emboldens future acts of violence. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to key government officials, including the President and members of Congress, to ensure awareness and accountability regarding the events of January 6 and the subsequent pardons.
