GOP Rep. Carter Introduces Bill to Penalize Democratic Reps. Who Mobbed ICE Center in NJElizabeth Weibel 13 May 2025
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) introduced a bill that would strip three Democrats of their House committee assignments over their involvement in a riot at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center.
Carter, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, introduced a resolution on Tuesday to strip Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) of their committee assignments after they stormed and allegedly trespassed at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, Fox News reported.
“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 wrote in a post on X. “The three Democratic members involved in this stunt do not deserve to sit on committees alongside serious lawmakers.”
Carter’s resolution calls for Watson Coleman to be removed from the Committee on Appropriations, for Menendez to be removed from the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and for McIver to be removed from the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Small Business.

Habba explained that Baraka had “committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself” from the ICE detention center.
Baraka’s arrest came after he had joined McIver, Watson Coleman, and Menendez to “conduct federal oversight of” Delaney Hall, which was leased for “$63 million annually from a private prison group,” according to PIX11 News:
Delany Hall was leased for $63 million annually from a private prison group known as The GEO Group. The city of Newark is suing for more inspections, claiming ICE has not indicated how many detainees it has in the building — which can only house 1,000 people.
