US EditionMcIver charges are Trump effort to intimidate, say Democrats
- U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver was charged on Monday with assaulting federal officers during an early May visit to an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey.
- The charges stem from a confrontation at Delaney Hall involving immigration officials attempting to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, prompting claims the charges serve as political distractions amid economic concerns.
- Democrats assert McIver was conducting lawful oversight and criticize the Justice Department under interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, who has no prior prosecutorial experience and is aligned with President Trump.
- James Carville remarked on MSNBC that the focus on immigration is being used to distract from the poor state of the global economy, while McIver described the charges as politically motivated efforts to hinder congressional oversight.
- The case has sparked fierce Democratic opposition, highlighting tensions over immigration enforcement and raising concerns about potential political motives influencing federal prosecutions.
