WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today introduced a resolution to strip New Jersey Democratic Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Robert Menendez, and LaMonica McIver of their committee assignments following their illegal raid of an ICE facility in Newark, NJ.
“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,” said Rep. Carter.
As a bus of illegal immigrant detainees entered the security gate of Delany Hall Detention Center, an unruly group of protestors – including the three previously mentioned Democratic members of Congress – stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility, according to a press release from the Department of Homeland Security.
The resolution would remove Watson Coleman from the House Committee on Appropriations, McIver from the House Committees on Homeland Security and Small Business, and Menendez from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
