Democrat LaMonica McIver Indicted over Storming of ICE Detention Center, Faces 17 Years in Federal Prison 449 Ras Baraka, mayor of Newark, right, and Representative LaMonica McIver, a Democrat from NeYuki Iwamura/Bloomberg/DHS John Binder10 Jun 20251,480 3:06 A federal grand jury has issued a three-count federal indictment against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) after she was reportedly caught on camera storming an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark, New Jersey, last month.
On Tuesday, a federal grand jury in Newark returned an indictment against McIver, charging her with forcibly impeding and interfering with ICE agents while they were trying to arrest an illegal alien outside of Delaney Hall detention center on May 9.
According to the indictment, McIver, as well as Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ), were outside Delaney Hall to conduct congressional oversight when their oversight coincided with a protest by open borders activists.
The charges against McIver stem from her attempts to prevent Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) from being arrested after he refused to leave the secured area of the detention center that he was not authorized to be in.
“After the Congressional Delegation entered the secured area of the facility, the Mayor of Newark arrived and was given access to the secured area. A federal officer then informed the Mayor that he was not authorized to be in the facility’s secured area, and issued the Mayor multiple warnings that he would be arrested if he did not leave,” a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release states of the indictment:
McIver and other members of the Congressional Delegation overheard this conversation and challenged the officer, protesting the Mayor’s removal. When officers moved in to arrest the Mayor, McIver and others surrounded the Mayor and prevented the officers from handcuffing him.

That’s how corrupt the demonrats are.
I agree. Even with video evidence. If she were a white Republican she would be toast.
Dems are about to find out that black Americans are not nearly as fond of illegals as they are.
That’s a man baby.
I doubt it. Black, female, democrat, house reps do not go to prison. She'll get off with a hand-slap or she'll be found innocent. Bank on it.
Life can be tough when you’re a criminal agitator.
Facts sound muddy. First they invite the mayor in. Then they tell him to leave, and McIver and the rest form a ring around him. No actual “storming,” just blocking the federal agents from forcibly removing the mayor, who had been previously invited in. Some slick lawyer will make much of that. We’ll see if the case sticks.
Garden State ping.
Failure to vacate when lawfully ordered constitutes criminal trespass.
Certainly not a white cop like Derek Chauvin. White cop or POTUS -> evidence not needed.
Yeh. But lawyers will lawy. And judges will scratch their right ear with their left arm from behind their head.
