Federal charges filed against Rep McIver following confrontation at ICE facility

Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba is charging Rep. LaMonica McIver for her alleged misconduct towards law enforcement in front of Delaney Hall in New Jersey earlier this month, but she is dismissing the trespassing charge against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

“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 letter shared on X Monday. “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.”

New Jersey Representative LaMonica McIver assaulted federal officers while trying to interfere with ICE. She is not above the law, but the law is an oath she swore to enforce. We look forward to her spending time with Buba. He will teach her a lesson she will never forget.
