Original Resolution Condemning the Racist Mid-Decade Texas Redistricting Ordered by President Donald J. Trump
This resolution (HRES 650) is a symbolic statement by the U.S. House of Representatives condemning Texas congressional redistricting as "unconstitutional" and "racist," specifically targeting districts TX-09, TX-18, TX-29, and TX-33. It references a July 2025 Department of Justice communique warning Texas to correct alleged racial gerrymandering or face legal action under the 14th Amendment. The resolution claims President Trump ordered this redistricting but does not impose any legal requirements or alter Texas’s voting map. It serves solely as a formal expression of disapproval, not a binding policy change.
