A federal judge overseeing the Trump administration's prosecution of U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver on charges she assaulted and impeded immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center told the government to remove social media posts he called “prejudicial” to the congresswoman.
U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper on Tuesday heard pretrial arguments in the case brought by Republican President Donald Trump's U.S. Justice Department against the Democratic congresswoman representing Newark, the state's biggest city. Semper didn't issue a ruling from the bench but told the government's attorneys nine social media posts should be removed.
