RESOLUTION

Censuring Representative LaMonica McIver of New Jersey.

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
Resolved, 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.
