Condemning the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and standing ready to support President Donald J. Trump in taking decisive action to end the existential threat that persecuted Christians face in Nigeria.

HRES 866 is a non-binding House resolution condemning the systematic persecution of Christians in Nigeria by groups like Boko Haram and Fulani militants, and criticizing Nigeria's government for failing to protect Christian communities or acknowledge the violence. It calls on the U.S. government to support President Trump in using diplomatic, economic, and security tools to pressure Nigeria to end impunity for attacks, protect Christians, return displaced persons, and repeal blasphemy laws. The resolution specifically demands action against religiously motivated violence, including the release of those imprisoned for their faith, and urges coordination with international partners for humanitarian aid. It does not create new laws but expresses congressional support for U.S. policy actions targeting Nigeria's religious freedom violations.
