The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey has formally filed criminal charges against U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) for allegedly assaulting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside a New Jersey facility.
McIver joined Newark Mayor Ray Baraka, two of her House colleagues and a number of additional activists and lawmakers to “inspect” an ICE facility in New Jersey earlier this month. The situation quickly devolved into chaos when the group stormed past an exterior gate and attempted to gain entry to the building, footage shows.
Amidst the chaos, Baraka was charged with trespassing while other members of the group protested and clashed with immigration agents. Footage from the incident appears to show Rep. McIver repeatedly elbowing and shoving an ICE agent, a claim she has denied despite video evidence.
