Bill > HRes539

This resolution censures Representative LaMonica McIver and removes her from the Committee on Homeland Security following an incident at the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility in Newark, New Jersey on May 9, 2025. According to the resolution, McIver has been federally indicted on three counts of assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with federal officers, specifically challenging guidance from a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer, interfering with an arrest, physically restraining an HSI officer by "slamming her forearm" into the officer's body, and impeding an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deportation Officer. The resolution notes that body camera and video evidence support these allegations, which are considered a violation of federal law and a breach of the House of Representatives' rule that members must "behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House." As a result, the resolution formally censures McIver, requiring her to be publicly censured in the House chamber, and removes her from the Committee on Homeland Security, citing a potential conflict of interest given the nature of the alleged offenses.
