The bill, H. 5034, is a House Resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse who was murdered by a United States Border Patrol officer on January 24, 2026. The resolution emphasizes Pretti's commitment to constitutional rights and civic values, particularly highlighting the Second Amendment's affirmation of the right to keep and bear arms. It asserts that lawful possession of a weapon is fundamental to a free society and that civic participation, such as protests, should not be met with violence from federal agents.

Furthermore, the resolution condemns the actions of federal agents involved in Pretti's death and calls for accountability for those who violate the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. It also addresses concerns regarding federal agents using masks to conceal their identities, which complicates the identification of those who may exceed their authority. The resolution ultimately seeks to reaffirm the importance of constitutional principles and civic engagement while denouncing the use of violence against individuals exercising their rights. A copy of the resolution will be presented to the South Carolina congressional delegation.
