•HRES 539 IH 
Whereas Representative McIver is alleged to have interfered 
with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officials 
from making an arrest of an unauthorized visitor; 
Whereas Representative McIver is alleged to have ‘‘slammed 
her forearm into the body’’ and ‘‘restrain’’ an HSI officer 
by ‘‘forcibly grabbing him’’; 
Whereas Representative McIver is alleged to have further 
interfered with an Immigration and Customs Enforce-
ment Deportation Officer engaged in the performance of 
his official duties; 
Whereas body camera and other video evidence support the 
allegations made within the Federal indictment; 
Whereas such actions constitute a violation of section 
111(a)(1) of title 18, United States Code, relating to as-
saulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with a Fed-
eral officer; 
Whereas clause 1 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives provides, ‘‘A Member, Delegate, Resi-
dent Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House 
shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect 
creditably on the House.’’; 
Whereas such actions of a Member of the House of Rep-
resentatives do not reflect creditably on the House; and 
Whereas Representative McIver’s continued service on the 
Committee on Homeland Security, which is charged with 
oversight of Federal immigration enforcement and other 
national security matters, would represent a significant 
conflict of interest: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved,
