New Jersey Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver urged a federal appeals court Wednesday to throw out the three-count indictment against her, arguing her arrest outside a federal immigration detention center last year interfered with her legislative duties.
In challenging the charges, McIver has argued that Trump administration officials have targeted her for her opposition to the administration, and that the case impedes on constitutional protections for acts relating to the “Speech or Debate” for members of Congress.
