US EditionMace files resolution to expel McIver over ICE assault charges
- On Wednesday, Republican Representative Nancy Mace from South Carolina introduced a resolution to expel Democratic Representative LaMonica McIver of New Jersey following assault charges tied to a May 9 incident at an immigration detention center in Newark.
- The resolution responds to federal accusations against McIver for obstructing and engaging in physical confrontations with law enforcement during a congressional oversight visit at Delaney Hall, an event that also involved Mayor Ras Baraka, whose related charges were subsequently dismissed.
- Mace stated that members of Congress must uphold the law like any other citizen, emphasizing that McIver's actions violated her oath and referenced precedent where members facing criminal charges, like George Santos in 2023, were expelled from the House.
- Mace stated that on May 9th, McIver not only violated the law but also targeted those responsible for upholding it, and emphasized that she must face prosecution to the maximum extent allowed by law.
- Expulsion requires a two-thirds House vote, and while McIver denies the charges and claims she was performing lawful oversight, Mace's resolution indicates the House must act to maintain public trust and ensure accountability.
