US EditionUS Rep. LaMonica McIver pleads not guilty to assault charges stemming from immigration center visit
- U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver appeared in federal court on June 25, 2025, charged with assaulting federal officers outside Newark's Delaney Hall immigration facility.
- The charges stem from a May 9 congressional oversight visit and protest during which McIver allegedly impeded officers attempting to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, amid broader Trump administration immigration enforcement efforts.
- McIver allegedly slammed her forearm into one officer, grabbed another, and placed her arms around Baraka to obstruct his arrest, while Baraka's trespassing charge was later dropped and he sued prosecutor Alina Habba for malicious prosecution.
- The indictment includes three counts: two carrying up to eight years in prison each and one with a maximum of one year, and McIver pleaded not guilty, with her lawyer Paul Fishman vowing to challenge these politically motivated allegations.
- The case highlights tensions between Democratic officials and the Trump-appointed prosecutor amid ongoing immigration disputes, with McIver and allies framing the charges as political intimidation intended to deter opposition.
