Mr. Timmons submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ethics
Censuring Representative LaMonica McIver of New Jersey.
Whereas, on May 9, 2025, Representative LaMonica McIver was involved in an incident at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, a Federal immigration detention facility operated by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement;

Sec.
That—
(1)
the House of Representatives censures Representative LaMonica McIver;
