                               RESOLUTION

 
   Condemning the hateful comments of Texas congressional candidate 
                            Maureen Galindo.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This resolution may be cited as the ``Original Resolution 
Condemning the Hateful Comments of Texas Congressional Candidate 
Maureen Galindo''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The House of Representatives finds the following:
     Whereas, on May 13, 2026, referring to herself, Texas 
congressional candidate Maureen Galindo posted on Instagram, ``When 
Maureen gets into Congress, she'll write legislation so that all 
Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-semitic, since it's Zionists harming the 
Semites. She'll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for 
American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. (It 
will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles which will 
probably be most of the Zionists)'';
    Whereas Ms. Galindo's comments advocate the imprisonment of 
Americans based on their ideologies and associations and endorse the 
use of detention facilities as institutions for political punishment;
    Whereas, throughout history, some governments have used detention 
camps and prisons to persecute individuals because of their race, 
religion, ethnicity, political beliefs, or perceived affiliations;
    Whereas, during World War II, Nazi Germany established 
concentration camps that imprisoned and murdered millions of people, 
including six million Jews, who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust;
    Whereas among the lessons of the Holocaust is the demonstration of 
the dangerous consequences of targeting individuals or groups for 
detention based on identity, beliefs, or associations;
    Whereas calls for the imprisonment of persons possibly associated 
with Jewish identity evoke some of the darkest chapters in human 
history and are deeply offensive to Holocaust survivors, their 
descendants, and the families of those who suffered religious 
persecution;
    Whereas the First Amendment to the Constitution protects freedom of 
speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association for all people 
in the United States; it does not, however, protect persons from the 
condemnation of their hate speech; and
    Whereas calls to imprison and castrate Americans because of their 
ideologies or affiliations are contrary to the idealized principles of 
liberty and justice enshrined in the Constitution: Now, therefore, be 
it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns the hateful comments of Texas congressional 
        candidate Maureen Galindo, advocating the imprisonment and 
        castration of Americans based on their ideologies or 
        associations.
