Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville claims that federal charges brought against U.S. Rep LaMonica McIver over an ICE altercation are an attempt by the Trump administration to divert the public’s attention from the state of the economy.
The Justice Department has accused McIver, a New Jersey Democrat, of using her forearms to slam into immigration officials outside an immigration detention center in her home state earlier this month. The alleged incident happened as officials attempted to arrest Newark Democratic Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this month.
