The interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey announced Monday her office has charged Rep. LaMonica McIver in connection with a physical altercation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as she and other members of Congress visited a detention facility.
Alina Habba, in a statement posted on social media, said the New Jersey Democrat had “assaulted, impeded, and interfered with law enforcement” in violation of federal law. No records of the charges were available through the federal court system Monday night.
“That conduct cannot be overlooked by the chief federal law enforcement official in the State of New Jersey, and it is my Constitutional obligation to ensure that our federal law enforcement is protected when executing their duties,” Habba said.
