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.

Let us hope...that no one is above the law.
....and - we can shave one more off the Democrat minority for a while.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
(Right, Dems?)
This was in Newark, NJ. There was video evidence so her probability of conviction is still 0%.
A unanimous vote is not required among grand jurors.
13 out of 24, as in a simple majority, would do it.
These are federal charges in the Newark federal court district, which includes the entire north end of the state.
As per Alan Dershowitz, given the venue, and certain characteristics of the accused, if this goes to trial, the possibility of jury nullification must be taken seriously.
I hope she gets jail, a certain population needs to understand they are not above the law.
Two wrongs don't make a right. But our judicial system is not blind.
Wait til they find out Who She Is.
Lock her ghettopottamus ass up, as a message to all.
But in that venue, I have my doubts about justice being served.
Time for her to find out how well her DO YOU KNOW WHO IAM badge works in prison.
Good. Lock her up. She needs to learn her actions have consequences, whether in this life or the next.
My thoughts exactly.
I have spent much time doing engineering work with a company in Northern New Jersey (near Patterson). I have little confidence that the jury pool selection won't be rigged. And even if a grand jury were to vote for indictment, I would expect a judge to dismiss the charges. I think there is no chance of conviction. We will see.
Here’s hoping.
She won’t do one second in jail. She’s not a republican and she’s not white, so... Exempted.
NJ jurors will be most impressed with her. Yes, she gets a pass.
