Congresswoman Charged with Assaulting ICE Agents | JQJO

New Jersey Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver faces two assault charges for allegedly resisting arrest outside an immigration detention facility. The Justice Department, under interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba (a former Trump attorney), filed the charges, stating McIver assaulted ICE and Homeland Security agents. McIver denies the charges, calling them politically motivated and aimed at deterring congressional oversight. Democrats denounced the charges as an attempt to intimidate Congress, while Habba asserted that nobody is above the law. The incident occurred during a protest against the facility's reopening.
