Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., introduced a resolution Tuesday that would strip three New Jersey Democrats of their House committee assignments for their actions last week at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.
As a bus of detained illegal immigrants entered the security gate of the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, on March 9, a group of demonstrators — including Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Robert Menendez Jr., and LaMonica McIver — stormed the gate and entered the site. The lawmakers — along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a fellow Democrat — have been accused of assaulting ICE agents; they say they were there to conduct oversight.
“The radical left has lost their minds — they would rather raid an ICE facility to defend criminal illegal immigrants than represent their own constituents,” Carter, who intends to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff in 2026, said in a statement. “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.”
