A Republican from Georgia has just introduced a resolution to punish the three Democrats who were involved in the altercation at the ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.
Specifically, Rep. Buddy Carter wants these three Democrats kicked off their committee assignments.
Via Fox News reporter Chad Pergram:

This is the least that should be done and, honestly, it’s better than a censure because it actually does something somewhat significant. I’d really rather them be kicked out of Congress, but I won’t hold my breath on that one. So yeah, I’d take this if Republicans can only deliver on it.
And if you have any doubt about it whether they are actually guilty, just watch this video below:
Rep Watson Coleman says Dems tried to “shield” Newark mayor from officers attempting to arrest him:
"And so instinctively, the three members of Congress went to shield the mayor, because we knew that what was happening was not legal."
