Rep. LaMonica McIver was indicted on federal charges by the U.S. Justice Department for her alleged actions outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility.
According to an indictment, tensions escalated after a Department of Homeland Security special agent informed Mayor Baraka that he was not authorized to enter a secured area.
Prosecutors allege that McIver intervened to prevent the arrest, first shouting “Hell no!” and then physically obstructing the officer. She is accused of using her forearm to strike one officer and attempting to restrain him during a second arrest attempt. She also allegedly pushed past an ICE deportation officer, striking him with her forearms.
A press release from the New Jersey U.S. Attorney’s Office alleged, “During her continued attempts to thwart the arrest, McIver slammed her forearm into the body of one law enforcement officer and also reached out and tried to restrain that officer by forcibly grabbing him. McIver also used each of her forearms to forcibly strike a second officer.”
