This resolution calls for the expulsion of Representative LaMonica McIver from the House of Representatives based on allegations that she forcibly assaulted federal law enforcement officers at an immigration detention facility in New Jersey on May 9, 2025. According to the resolution, McIver entered a secure area of the facility without authorization, physically struck and grabbed Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, and attempted to prevent them from making a lawful arrest. The Department of Justice has charged her with two violations of federal law related to assaulting and interfering with federal law enforcement. The resolution argues that her conduct violates House rules requiring members to behave in a manner that reflects credibility on the institution, and it references the 2023 expulsion of former Representative George Santos as a precedent for removing a member facing criminal charges before conviction. If passed, the resolution would immediately remove McIver from office through a constitutional process that requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House.
