A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution seeks to expel Representative LaMonica McIver from the United States House of Representatives. The resolution alleges that on May 9, 2025, McIver entered a secure area of a federal immigration detention facility without authorization. It further claims she attempted to prevent law enforcement from making a lawful arrest and physically assaulted federal agents. These actions have resulted in criminal charges from the Department of Justice. The resolution argues that such conduct violates House rules and fails to reflect credibility on the institution. Ultimately, it calls for her expulsion pursuant to the Constitution.
