‘The law was violated’: Speaker Johnson floats possible expulsion for Democrats who stormed ICE facility
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the three New Jersey Democrats who stormed the ICE facility in Newark last Friday may face disciplinary action.
Speaker Johnson said the members of Congress who assaulted ICE agents at the Delaney Hall center may face expulsion from Congress.
“Look, there’s three possible disciplinary actions that Congress – that the House can take. You can censure a member and that probably does seem appropriate here. You can kick them off committees… that’s a new tradition adopted by the Democrats or you can expel someone from Congress,” Johnson said.
Speaker Johnson pointed out that expulsion will be a challenge since it requires a two-thirds vote.
“We are looking at what is appropriate,” Johnson said. “I think it’s pretty clear that the law was violated.”
