This resolution recommends that the U.S. House of Representatives find Hector Roos in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with two subpoenas issued by the Committee on Ethics in August 2025. The bill specifically cites his failure to produce requested documents and appear before the Investigative Subcommittee as directed. It directs the Speaker of the House to certify a report detailing these refusals to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, enabling legal proceedings against Mr. Roos under federal law. Additionally, the resolution instructs the Speaker to take any other appropriate actions necessary to enforce the subpoenas.
