The DOJ is about to bring charges against Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver as early as today after she assaulted ICE agents at the Delaney Hall ICE facility last Friday. It is believed that McIver will turn herself in on Friday afternoon. She will be given a court date and then will be released pending the hearing of the charges against her.
The New Jersey Globe reported:
The Justice Department plans to bring charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-Newark) following a scuffle with federal immigration agents last week at Newark’s Delaney Hall detention center, three sources speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed to the New Jersey Globe.
Much is still unknown about the case against the freshman congresswoman, but interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba could announce charges as early as today. McIver may turn herself in this afternoon, the New Jersey Globe learned; she’ll be represented by Paul Fishman, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey during the Obama administration.

Jeffries issued a statement shortly after the incident on Friday, defending his fellow Democrats and warning the administration against impeding the oversight powers granted to Congress under the Constitution.
On Tuesday, he took that message up a notch, characterizing McLaughlin as “a joke” while warning that Democrats won’t be cowed by Trump’s threats, especially as the president’s approval ratings have fallen well under water.
“We’re not going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force principled opposition from not standing up to their extremism,” Jeffries said.
“It didn’t happen when Donald Trump temporarily was sitting high in the immediate aftermath of the election. Do you think it’s going to happen now, when he’s the most unpopular president in American history after his first 100 days?” the New York Democrat continued. “Give me a break. No one’s intimidated by this dude — no one.”
He added, “And so there are clear lines that they just dare not cross.”
Jeffries did not spoil his perfect record of being wrong, and he was wrong twice. Harry Entin revealed that polls show President Trump surging in the polls, and McIver has been charged. No one is above the law, minority leader Nimrod Jeffries.
