Introduced October 28, 2025 by Jesús García · Last progress October 28, 2025
Recognizes and honors Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 1–2, highlights its Indigenous Mesoamerican roots and cultural importance in the United States, and acknowledges the contributions of Mexican‑American, Latino, and Indigenous communities. The resolution expresses condolences to families remembering loved ones—specifically naming those who died in immigration detention or as a result of enforcement actions—and urges relevant agencies to protect the health, dignity, civil rights, and family unity of people in immigration custody.
Encourages community groups, schools, and all levels of government to raise awareness of the holiday and its traditions and to foster respect for its observances; the text is a commemorative, non‑binding statement rather than a funding or regulatory mandate.
