House rejects effort to censure New Jersey congresswoman over actions at detention center
September 3, 2025
The House has rejected a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey. Republicans sought to censure McIver and remove her from a committee as she faces federal charges stemming from a visit to an immigration detention facility in May. But the House voted 215-207 on Wednesday to table the measure. The censure resolution recounted how McIver is alleged to have interfered with Homeland Security Investigations officials from making an arrest of an unauthorized visitor. McIver has pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial in her case has been scheduled for November.
