New Jersey Democrat LaMonica McIver has been indicted over a brawl with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents outside a Newark detention facility.
The Congresswoman was slapped with federal charges on Tuesday alleging she impeded and interfered with immigration officers as they sought to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on May 9.
The duo were part of a group trying to conduct a congressional oversight visit at the facility amid increased ICE activity, but a brawl broke out when they were refused.
Acting US Attorney for New Jersey and Trump ally Alina Habba announced the grand jury indictment in a post on X.
'While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve,' Habba wrote.
McIver had been charged in a complaint by Habba last month with two assault charges stemming from the May 9 visit to Newark's Delaney Hall - a 1,000-bed, privately owned facility that Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses as a detention center.
McIver disputed the allegations as baseless and defended her presence at the facility as part of her authorized role as a member of Congress.
Her lawyer, former US Attorney for New Jersey Paul Fishman, said in a statement that they would challenge the allegations 'head-on' in court.

Good.
This is the only thing bullies, toughs respect: force.
Good. Indict all that cross the line.
I would expect that she will have a favorable jury and will walk. It’s the NJ way.
This is Trump’s America! Yippee! MAGA! :)
LaManica?
Lol! That’s funny because when I saw it I never gave it a second thought!
No one is above the law.
Well, that’s what you said about president Trump.

A start.
“I would expect that she will have a favorable jury and will walk. It’s the NJ way”
Probably, but it will be a drawn out expensive process for the fat a$$ed piece of trash.
Dynomite!
Are we about to see a real, live ghettopotumus held in captivity??
Will they sell tickets to allow school children to view such a creature?
Find out time. I hope the elitist enjoys the process. Shave her head like they did to Nazi collaborators. There must be no more Hillary defense for the left.
“McIver disputed the allegations as baseless”
The hag was throwing literal punches. She may have learned that wearing “arrest-me red” when committing crimes may not be the best idea. It makes it super easy to be spotted in a crowd.
“Are we about to see a real, live ghettopotumus held in captivity??”
The care and feeding of the creature could be a problem for taxpayers. Didja SEE the size of that one?
Didn’t need to look but, I did. Yep. It’s them again Boo Boo.
