Democratic Rep. McIver to Be Charged over New Jersey Protest at ICE Facility: Report

  • Freshman Rep. LaMonica McIver faces federal charges for participating in a protest at Newark's ICE facility last week.
  • The charges stem from McIver’s alleged role in a scuffle involving law enforcement during Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s arrest at the protest.
  • Video evidence shows McIver attempting to protect Baraka physically and verbally, possibly obstructing the arrest and engaging in battery.
  • Authorities consider obstruction and battery felonies that could bring up to eight years in prison, while exact charges and timing remain uncertain.
  • McIver may claim congressional oversight protections, but the case highlights tensions over applying legal immunity amid political protests at federal sites.
