New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver was charged on Monday for allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers outside of an ICE detention facility earlier this month.
Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced that she was charging the congresswoman with assaulting and impeding a law enforcement officer.
On May 9, McIver, along with a few other members of Congress and Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, were protesting outside of Delaney Hall, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility.
Tensions at the protest escalated and pushing and shoving allegedly occurred, according to the U.S. Attorney.
"Representative LaMonica McIver assaulted, impeded, and interfered with law enforcement in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1)," Habba said in a statement. "That conduct cannot be overlooked by the chief federal law enforcement official in the State of New Jersey, and it is my Constitutional obligation to ensure that our federal law enforcement is protected when executing their duties ave persistently made efforts to address these issues without bringing criminal charges and Representative Melver every opportunity to come to a resolution, but she has unfortunately declined."

Anyway, on May 9th, a noisy group of indignant Democrat lawmakers and friends tried to invade the borders of a brand new ICE Detention facility in Newark. The ‘gang’ included three Democrat Congressmen, Mayor Baraka, and about a dozen of just the most necessary members of their posse. They stridently claimed that their oversight role as members of Congress meant they could enter any federal facility anytime they wanted without notice.
ICE agents objected, explaining they could not enter without an escort (for their own safety) or bring along non-Congressmembers like Mayor Baraka, and asked them to leave.
McIver, Baraka, and the rest of the brave company loudly refused.
What ensued has become a highly contentious “he said-she said” controversy. The Times, fastidiously avoiding choosing sides, described the scene as “a confusing scrum” and a “chaotic scuffle.” But at one point, Miss McIver is clearly visible charging and surging through the ICE officers like an enraged hippopotamus. Except louder.
It’s hard to miss her in the clip, since she is one of the largest objects and practically scatters six grown men like they were bowling pins.
After the group was finally removed, ICE agents gave the three Congressmen (including the two birthing persons) a tour anyway. Nobody in the useless corporate media has ever bothered to ask whether McIver & Co. were there to legitimately oversee the detention facility or just create a mob-like media moment.
In a statement, Interim US Attorney Alina Habba said her office had tried to “work things out” with Rep. McIver, but she remained immovable. Thus, yesterday, “Miss” McIver became a justice-involved individual after the DOJ filed criminal charges for assaulting a federal officer.
Under the relevant statute, Rep. McIver faces up to 8 years and a maximum fine of $250,000.
As for Mayor Raspberry, “After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka’s misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward,” Habba said. That’s code for: they found something about the case they didn’t like, or worked something out, or are picking their battle. Either way, they traded up misdemeanor trespassing charges against a kooky mayor for felony assault charges against a sitting Democrat Congressperson.
