Whereas, on May 9, 2025, Representative LaMonica McIver was involved in an incident at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, a Federal immigration detention facility operated by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Whereas the Department of Homeland Security and other sources have alleged that a group, including Representative McIver, engaged in unauthorized entry into a secure Federal facility during the arrival of a bus carrying detainees, thereby disrupting operations and endangering the safety of law enforcement agents and detainees; Whereas body camera footage and other evidence show Representative McIver assaulting and intimidating Federal law enforcement officers; Whereas assaulting, resisting, opposing, intimidating, or interfering with a police officer performing their official duties is illegal under section 111 of title 18, United States Code; and Whereas Members of the House of Representatives are entrusted with upholding the law and maintaining public confidence in the integrity and dignity of the legislative branch: Now, therefore, be it

That— (1) the House of Representatives censures Representative LaMonica McIver; (2) Representative McIver forthwith present herself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure; (3) Representative McIver will be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker; and (4) the Committee on Ethics shall conduct an investigation into Representative McIver and to consider further disciplinary action, as appropriate under House rules and precedent.
