HRES 461 United States House · 118th Congress

Condemning the use of elementary and secondary school facilities to provide shelter for aliens who are not admitted to the United States.

This resolution (HRES 461) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' disapproval of using public elementary or secondary school facilities to shelter individuals not admitted to the United States. It specifically references incidents in New York City where school gymnasiums were used for this purpose, arguing such use diverts educational resources, compromises student safety, and disrupts school routines. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect anyone but serves as a formal statement of opposition to the practice. The bill focuses on condemning the use of school facilities for sheltering non-admitted individuals, without proposing policy changes.
