Mace files resolution to expel McIver over ICE assault charges

  • On May 20, 2025, South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace filed a resolution in the House to expel New Jersey Democrat LaMonica McIver over assault allegations at a Newark ICE facility.
  • The resolution responds to McIver's May 9 involvement in a chaotic scuffle where she allegedly assaulted ICE agents while opposing Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's arrest on federal charges later dropped.
  • Mace cites two federal offenses in the resolution, notes precedent from George Santos's 2023 expulsion, and says McIver failed to uphold the constitution by attacking law enforcement officials.
  • Mace expressed that McIver’s actions on May 9 went beyond legal violations, directly targeting the individuals responsible for upholding the law, and she underscored that committing an assault against federal officers constitutes a clear criminal offense.
  • Though McIver denies wrongdoing and claims political motives behind charges, the expulsion resolution awaits House Ethics Committee review, and a two-thirds vote is required for removal.
