This resolution seeks to censure Representative LaMonica McIver and remove her from her position on the Committee on Homeland Security . The proposed actions are a direct consequence of an incident on May 9, 2025, at the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility, where she is alleged to have interfered with federal officers. Specifically, Representative McIver faces a three-count federal indictment for assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with Federal officers , including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel. She is accused of challenging guidance, interfering with an arrest, and physically engaging with an HSI officer, with body camera evidence reportedly supporting these allegations. The resolution argues that her alleged conduct violates federal law and House rules requiring Members to behave creditably. Furthermore, her continued service on the Committee on Homeland Security, which oversees immigration enforcement, would represent a significant conflict of interest given the nature of the charges against her.
