Rep. Nancy Mace Files Resolution to EXPEL Monica McIver From Congress

Rep. McIver is facing federal charges for assaulting ICE agents at a detention facility in Newark.

Fox News has more details:

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a House resolution on Wednesday to expel Democratic New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver, who earlier this week was served with federal charges for allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers this month while protesting at a federal immigrant detention center.

“On May 9th, McIver didn’t just break the law, she attacked the very people who defend it,” Mace said in a press release announcing the new House Resolution. “Attacking Homeland Security and ICE agents isn’t just disgraceful, it’s assault. If any other American did what she did, they’d be in handcuffs.

“McIver thinks being a Member of Congress puts her above the law. It doesn’t. She should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The New York Post added:

Mace is sending her measure to the House Ethics Committee for consideration, rather than immediately trying to force a vote.

“Members of Congress swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this country — not to obstruct them,” Mace said. “This isn’t a matter of partisan politics. It’s about whether we’re going to hold Members of Congress to the same legal standards as every other American.”

The resolution faces long odds in the House, where it would require the support of two-thirds of lawmakers to pass.

It’s good to see the GOP taking action, finally.

Now, we just need Speaker Johnson to bring this to a vote…
