Dem Rep. LaMonica McIver Charged With Assaulting ICE Officers at N.J. Detention Facility

The U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey has decided to bring charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) for allegedly assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during a scuffle outside a detention facility in Newark earlier this month.

“After a thorough review of the video footage of Delaney Hall and a full investigation from HSI, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey has made the determination to charge Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers,” Director of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced on X Monday evening.

“No one is above the law. If any person, regardless of political party, influence or status, assaults a law enforcement officer as we witnessed Congresswoman McIver do, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” she added. “We thank our brave ICE law enforcement officers for their service to this great nation.”
