US EditionDemocratic Rep. McIver is due for first court appearance on assault charges
- On May 9, Representative LaMonica McIver allegedly struck and pushed federal officers outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark.
- The incident occurred as McIver tried to block the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka during a congressional oversight tour authorized by law without advance notice.
- Federal prosecutors filed an eight-page complaint charging McIver with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement after the mayor's removal from the secure area.
- A Homeland Security agent reported that McIver struck officers with her forearm during the confrontation, while McIver denies any misconduct and claims the charges are politically motivated.
- The case has sparked political debate over congressional oversight rights, with McIver's attorney calling the charges "spectacularly inappropriate" and Democrats denouncing the prosecution as political targeting.
