Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter introduced a new bill on Tuesday aimed at punishing Democrats who protested the new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in New Jersey.
The resolution seeks to strip Democratic New Jersey Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Robert Menendez and LaMonica McIver of their committee posts after they visited the Delaney Hall detention center.
Trump officials have claimed the Democrats “stormed” the facility.
The new bill, if passed, 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.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who also visited the center, was arrested for trespassing.
