Mike Johnson Says Dems Involved In Tense Encounter With ICE Agents Could Face 'Legal Ramifications'

House Speaker Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson said three Democratic lawmakers involved in a tense encounter with ICE agents in New Jersey last week could face "legal ramifications," as well as disciplinary measures in Congress.

"There's three possible disciplinary actions the House can take. Sanction a member, kick them off committees, a new tradition begun by the Democrats in recent years, and you can also expel someone from Congress. That requires two thirds of the votes, which is not likely because the margins are small, but we're looking at what is appropriate," Johnson said on Wednesday.
