--- Quote ---Democrats pounced after the Justice Department announced felony charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), claiming that it was motivated by politics. But, apparently, it is not only Democrats who are upset about the charges.
Rep. McIver is facing two counts of assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a May 9 fracas outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. Protesters demonstrating against the Trump administration’s immigration policies clashed with police officers outside the building.
The criminal complaint alleges that the lawmaker was part of a human shield trying to prevent the authorities from getting to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was also part of the protest. McIver allegedly “slammed her forearm” into one of the officers, according to the complaint, which also claims she “reached out and tried to restrain” the officer by “forcibly grabbing him.”
In a statement provided to USA Today, 11 former GOP members of Congress condemned the charges against McIver.
