WASHINGTON, D.C. –– Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) issued the following statement after the Department of Justice announced charges against Committee member Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who stormed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Delaney Hall detention facility in New Jersey earlier this month, and was caught on video assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers:
 
“Like most Americans, I am so tired of seeing those on the Left constantly get away with their lawless, criminal behavior. I fully support the Trump administration’s decision to charge Mrs. McIver, who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, of all places, for her actions that are clearly documented on video. I will continue to work with House leadership to ensure we do our part to hold her accountable, as well. We need to send a clear message to would-be lawbreakers around this country—under this administration, no matter how privileged you are, you will be subject to the rule of law.”
