Referred to the House Committee on Ethics.
This resolution is a House-only censure of Representative LaMonica McIver for conduct alleged during an incident at a federal detention facility. It directs her to appear in the well of the House for a public reading of the censure by the Speaker and asks the House Ethics Committee to investigate and consider further discipline. This is an internal disciplinary action by the House and does not create criminal penalties or change federal law.
This is a simple resolution introduced in the House and would be adopted by a vote of the House alone; it is not sent to the President and does not have the force of law outside House disciplinary procedures. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Ethics to investigate and consider additional action.
This resolution publicly censures Representative LaMonica McIver for her May 9, 2025 actions at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark.
It directs Rep.
McIver to appear in the House well for a public reading of the censure and refers the matter to the Committee on Ethics for investigation and possible further discipline.
Symbolic, nonfiscal measure that is easy to implement but politically polarizing; outcome hinges on House vote dynamics and evidence strength.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a clear, narrowly focused administrative/operational measure that specifies the immediate disciplinary action (censure), the mechanics for public pronouncement, and referral to the Committee on Ethics for further consideration.
