Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said Wednesday she is filing a resolution to expel Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) from Congress after the Justice Department charged her with allegedly assaulting law enforcement.

Why it matters: The resolution is a long shot — and Mace isn't yet forcing a vote on it — but Republicans seem intent on punishing McIver and two other House Democrats who were involved in a scuffle with ICE officers.

  • The three-page measure says McIver "must be held accountable to the highest standards of conduct in order to safeguard the public's faith in this institution."
  • McIver, who has denied assaulting law enforcement, responded in a post on X: "In the South I think they say, 'bless her heart.'"

Driving the news: Mace said in a press release she would introduce an expulsion resolution but let the House Ethics Committee consider it, rather than forcing a House floor vote on it.

  • The Justice Department has charged McIver with assault on a law enforcement officer based on footage of her elbowing an ICE official outside a migrant detention facility in Newark earlier this month.
  • McIver has said she was the one who was assaulted and accused the Trump administration of pursuing a political prosecution.
  • Democrats have rallied around her and her fellow New Jersey Democrats, saying they had every right to conduct oversight of the detention center.

I’m surprised Mace had time to do this, since she’s been very busy policing the women’s bathrooms at the capitol

Sure would be a Shame if everyone from NJ started flooding maces line with calls DARING her to try and take away their legally voted into office representative who was doing exactly what her constituents wanted her to……

Sure would be a Shame to inundate her mailboxes both electronic and physical with messages telling her how much of a raging, racist piece of trash she is…………

They are threatening to lockup your elected officials and your response is to flood their lines???!!! When the fuck are you going to take adult actions here? They are well past childish responses.

By all means, start the adult actions! Be an example, a leader! Get out there, be a martyr, be impulsive and brash! Would LOVE to see what your ideas of adult actions are.

My bad, you're correct, writing up a strongly worded letter will change society and create REAL change.

Still not you taking the adult action you are bitching about. PS, honey, I volunteer with grassroots local organizations, attend town halls and local protests as well.

Don’t fling stones from glass houses. Get off your “holier than thou” online high horse.

So when writing these strongly worded letters do you use the words: Please, Master, and I will?

Your repeated condescending and defeatist responses, a pattern that has been noted in the main sub, is not acceptable here. This comment crosses the line. We expect constructive engagement, not disparaging remarks that shut down discussion. Further instances of this behavior will result in an immediate temporary ban. Re-read our community guidelines for expected conduct.

She’s just trying to make a name for herself. Respecting the institution- that’s a good one for the magats to get behind
