The Justice Department said it filed charges Monday against Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., alleging she assaulted law enforcement this month at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark.
The acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, made the announcement on X, where she accused McIver of “assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement.”
McIver called the charges “purely political” in a statement and said she looks forward “to the truth being laid out clearly in court.”
It’s such a performative thing. What other person would they announce the charges on X instead of arresting the person first?
(It is all serious and horrible and weaponization of the justice department to scare people into submission)
