A resolution recognizing the work of Federal law enforcement agencies, condemning calls to "defund" the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and rejecting partisan attempts to degrade public trust in law enforcement agencies.

SRES 165 is a 2023 Senate resolution recognizing federal law enforcement agencies (specifically the Department of Justice and FBI) for their work, condemning calls to "defund" these agencies, and rejecting partisan efforts to undermine public trust in them. It directly addresses the actions of former President Trump and his allies who advocated limiting DOJ/FBI funding. The resolution cites FY2022 statistics showing these agencies prosecuted over 20,000 defendants for violent crime, terrorism, and other offenses. As a symbolic resolution (not a law), it has no legal effect but expresses the Senate's position on supporting federal law enforcement.
