U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was indicted Tuesday on federal fees alleging she impeded and interfered with immigration officers exterior a New Jersey detention heart whereas Newark’s mayor was being arrested after he tried to affix a congressional oversight go to on the facility.

Performing U.S. Legal professional for New Jersey Alina Habba introduced the grand jury indictment in a publish on X.

“While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve,” Habba mentioned.

McIver, a Democrat, had been charged in a criticism by Habba final month with two assault fees stemming from the Could 9 go to to Newark’s Delaney Corridor — a 1,000-bed, privately owned facility that Immigration and Customs Enforcement makes use of as a detention heart.

McIver disputed the allegations as baseless and defended her presence on the facility as a part of her licensed function as a member of Congress. 


Performing U.S. Legal professional Alina Habba, a former protection lawyer for President Donald Trump, introduced the fees on social media.

Her lawyer, former U.S. Legal professional for New Jersey Paul Fishman, mentioned in an announcement that they might problem the allegations “head-on” in court docket.

“The legal process will expose this prosecution for what it truly is — political retaliation against a dedicated public servant who refuses to shy away from her oversight responsibilities,” Fishman mentioned.

Habba mentioned two of the counts carry a most sentence of as much as eight years in jail. A 3rd has a most sentence of 1 yr. She characterised the fees as “forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers.”

The indictment is the most recent growth in a legal-political drama that has seen President Donald Trump’s administration take Democratic officers from New Jersey’s largest metropolis to court docket, tapping into the president’s immigration crackdown and Democrats’ efforts to reply. The prosecution of McIver is a uncommon federal prison case in opposition to a sitting member of Congress for allegations aside from fraud or corruption.

On the similar go to that resulted in McIver’s fees, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested on a trespassing cost, which was later dropped. Baraka is suing Habba over what he mentioned was a malicious prosecution.

A virtually two-minute clip launched by the Homeland Safety Division exhibits McIver on the power facet of a chain-link fence simply earlier than the arrest of the mayor on the road facet of the fence, the place different individuals had been protesting. She and uniformed officers undergo the gate, and she or he joins others shouting that they need to circle the mayor. The video exhibits McIver in a tightly packed group of individuals and officers. At one level, her left elbow after which her proper elbow push into an officer carrying a darkish face masking and an olive inexperienced uniform emblazoned with the phrase “Police” on it.

It isn’t clear from police bodycam video whether or not that contact was intentional, incidental or a results of jostling within the chaotic scene.

The criticism says she “slammed” her forearm into an agent then tried to restrain the agent by grabbing him.

New Jersey Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rob Menendez had joined McIver on the detention heart that day. They and Democrats have criticized the arrest and disputed the fees as nicely.

By regulation, members of Congress are licensed to enter federal immigration services as a part of their oversight powers, even with out discover. Congress handed a 2019 appropriations invoice that spelled out the authority.

McIver, 38, first got here to Congress in September in a particular election after the loss of life of Rep. Donald Payne Jr. left a emptiness within the tenth District.

She was then elected to a full time period in November. A Newark native, she served because the president of the Newark Metropolis Council from 2022 to 2024 and labored within the metropolis’s public faculties earlier than that.
