This resolution calls for the immediate expulsion of Representative LaMonica McIver from the United States House of Representatives. The proposed expulsion stems from a series of alleged actions on May 9, 2025, where she reportedly entered a secure area of a federal immigration facility without authorization. Furthermore, she is accused of attempting to prevent federal law enforcement officers from making a lawful arrest and physically assaulting uniformed Homeland Security Investigations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Her conduct, which the resolution states was captured on body camera video, has led to the United States Department of Justice charging her with two violations of federal law for forcibly assaulting, resisting, and interfering with federal agents. The resolution asserts that such behavior violates the House's rules requiring members to reflect credibility and cites the precedent of expelling a member charged but not convicted of criminal offenses. It concludes that given these egregious violations, Representative McIver is unfit to serve and must be held accountable to safeguard public faith in the institution.
