The House voted Wednesday to halt a GOP-led resolution to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., over an altercation with authorities outside an immigration detention facility earlier this year.
Five Republicans joined Democrats in a 215-207 vote to table the privileged resolution, which also sought to remove McIver from the House Homeland Security Committee. Without the motion, House rules would have meant a vote on the resolution later this week.
The Republicans who voted for the motion to table the resolution were Don Bacon and Mike Flood of Nebraska; David Joyce and Michael R. Turner of Ohio; and David Valadao of California. Two Republicans, Andrew Garbarino of New York and Nathaniel Moran of Texas, voted present.
