RESOLUTION

Censuring Representative Andrew Ogles and Removing Him from the House 
Committee on Homeland Security.

Whereas, on March 9, 2026, Representative Andrew Ogles used his official 
accounts on the social media platforms X and Instagram to publicly state 
that ``Muslims don't belong in American society'' and that ``pluralism 
is a lie'';
Whereas Representative Andrew Ogles has made statements on the podcast, 
Restoring The Republic, suggesting that Muslims will ``breed their way 
through our society'';
Whereas Representative Andrew Ogles has repeatedly made public statements 
regarding Muslim elected officials, suggesting that they are conspiring 
to institute an Islamic government;
Whereas Representative Andrew Ogles has a repeated history of using his official 
accounts on social media platforms to spread Islamophobic, racist, and 
anti-immigrant rhetoric; language and behavior unfit for a Member of 
Congress, going so far as to call for the denaturalization and 
deportation of elected officials for no reason other than their religion 
and background;
Whereas Representative Ogles's behavior and predisposition to discriminate 
against immigrants and minorities are alarming and inappropriate given 
his role on the House Committee on Homeland Security, raising serious 
questions about his ability to serve;
Whereas the United States of America is built on the principle of ``E Pluribus 
Unum'' and the welcoming of people across cultures and our strength 
through diversity; and
Whereas the Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of religion as 
one of the five fundamental freedoms detailed in the First Amendment: 
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,

SECTION 1. CENSURE OF REPRESENTATIVE ANDREW OGLES.

That the House of Representatives--
(1) Representative Andrew Ogles be censured;
(2) Representative Andrew Ogles forthwith present himself 
in the well of the House of Representatives for the 
pronouncement of censure; and
(3) Representative Andrew Ogles be censured with the public 
reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

SEC. 2. REMOVAL FROM HOUSE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY.

The following named Member be, and is hereby, removed from the 
following standing committee of the House of Representatives:
Committee on Homeland Security: Mr. Ogles.
