Relating to: condemning the pardons and sentence commutations of individuals involved in the violent attack on law enforcement officers at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
SJR 15 is a symbolic resolution passed by the Wisconsin State Legislature expressing disapproval of pardons and sentence commutations granted to individuals convicted of assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officers during the January 6, 2021, attack. It specifically condemns President Trump's 2025 actions pardoning or commuting sentences for those involved in violent assaults against law enforcement. The resolution states the legislature believes such individuals should be held accountable and aligns with support from police organizations. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect anyone but formally records the legislature's position.
