The resolution mentions how McIver was hit with a "three-count indictment by a Federal grand jury for assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with Federal officers" during the May 9 incident at the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility in Newark, N.J.
It states that "clause 1 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives provides, ‘'A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House'" and that "such actions of a Member of the House of Representatives do not reflect creditably on the House."
During the incident, McIver and two other members of Congress were conducting a congressional oversight visit that coincided with an immigration protest, according to a Justice Department press release.
After Newark Mayor Ras Baraka entered the facility’s secured area, federal agents warned him to leave.
However, when officers tried to arrest Baraka, McIver allegedly blocked them, putting her arms around the mayor, and "slammed her forearm" into one officer while grabbing another.

McIver "should not be participating on the committee that has oversight and voting authority over the branch of federal government that she's been indicted for committing crimes against," Higgins told the outlet.
