The Department of Justice announced federal charges against McIver on Monday, accusing her of allegedly "assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement" earlier this month at a Newark-area immigrant detention facility known as Delaney Hall. McIver was there with two other members of Congress to conduct what they claimed were their congressionally mandated oversight duties, as well as the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Ras Baraka, who was subsequently arrested following the incident but later had his charges dropped.
According to the press release, Mace's resolution notes that the House of Representatives already has precedent for expelling members of Congress who have been charged with serious criminal offenses.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
