H.Res. 539 · Congress

Censuring Representative LaMonica McIver and removing her from the Committee on Homeland Security.

Introduced Jun 24, 2025 · On motion to table Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 215 - 207, 2 Present (Roll no. 223).

What does this mean?

This resolution formally reprimands Representative LaMonica McIver through an official statement of disapproval from the House of Representatives, which is a public rebuke that goes into the congressional record but carries no fines or criminal penalties. It also removes her from the Committee on Homeland Security, the group of lawmakers who work on legislation related to border security, terrorism prevention, and disaster response — meaning she would lose her role in shaping and voting on bills in that specific policy area, though she would keep her regular seat in the House and her ability to vote on all other legislation.
