Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter, a Republican from Georgia, has introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives aimed at removing three Democratic representatives from New Jersey from their committee assignments. The action targets Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Robert Menendez, and LaMonica McIver following an incident involving an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey.
Carter stated, “The radical left has lost their minds – they would rather raid an ICE facility to defend criminal illegal immigrants than represent their own constituents. This behavior constitutes an assault on our brave ICE agents and undermines the rule of law. The three members involved in this stunt do not deserve to sit on committees alongside serious lawmakers.”
According to a press release from the Department of Homeland Security, as a bus carrying illegal immigrant detainees entered Delany Hall Detention Center’s security gate, a group of protestors stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility. Among those identified were the three Democratic representatives.
If passed, Carter’s resolution would remove Watson Coleman from her position on the House Committee on Appropriations, McIver from her roles on the House Committees on Homeland Security and Small Business, and Menendez from his position on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
