House Republican Motions to Censure, Remove Democrat Charged In ICE Confrontation

A House Republican introduced a resolution to censure New Jersey Democrat LaMonica McIver, who was indicted in May for allegedly obstructing federal agents during a visit to an immigration facility.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana is also calling for McIver to be removed from the House Homeland Security Committee, Fox News reported.

His resolution states that her continued service on the panel would be a “significant conflict of interest” given the charges she’s facing.

McIver was indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts, including assaulting and interfering with officers during a May 9 incident at the Delaney Hall Immigration Facility in Newark.
