Bill > HRes439

This resolution seeks to expel Representative LaMonica McIver from the United States House of Representatives due to her alleged misconduct at the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility on May 9, 2025. According to the resolution, McIver entered a secure area without authorization, attempted to prevent a lawful arrest, physically assaulted federal law enforcement officers by slamming her forearm into a Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent and forcibly striking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deportation Officer. The Department of Justice has charged McIver with two violations of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1) for forcibly assaulting, resisting, and interfering with federal law enforcement. The resolution argues that her actions violate Rule XXIII of the House Rules, which requires Members to behave in a manner that reflects credibility on the House, and cites the precedent of former Representative George Santos's expulsion. Ultimately, the resolution resolves that under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, Representative LaMonica McIver is to be expelled from the United States House of Representatives.
