Censuring Representative LaMonica McIver and removing her from the Committee on Homeland Security.
HRES 539 is a formal House resolution censuring Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) and removing her from the Committee on Homeland Security. It follows her federal indictment for allegedly assaulting and interfering with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers at a Newark immigration facility on May 9, 2025. The resolution cites House Rule XXIII requiring members to "behave in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House" and states her continued committee service would create a conflict of interest. The censure requires her to appear in the House well for the formal reading of the resolution. This is a disciplinary measure, not a policy change, based on pending criminal charges.
