FBI Washington Field Office House Arrest Act

HRES 236 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' disapproval of plans to build a new FBI headquarters outside Washington, D.C. It cites alleged politicization by the FBI's Washington Field Office - such as targeting citizens' First Amendment rights and suppressing investigations - as reason to halt funding for the new facility. The resolution specifically states no federal funds should be used to plan or acquire property for the suburban headquarters. It does not change law or block actual funding (as resolutions lack legal force), but formally opposes the project based on the cited concerns. The resolution was introduced by Rep. Gaetz and referred to relevant committees for review.
