A judge on Thursday denied a motion to dismiss the criminal case against U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., who is charged with assaulting federal agents during a visit to a New Jersey immigration detention center earlier this year.
U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper wrote in a 41-page ruling that McIver failed to show the prosecution was vindictive and that her actions were "wholly disconnected" from her oversight role as a member of Congress.
"Defendant has not met her burden of establishing that her predominant purpose in physically opposing the Mayor’s arrest was to conduct oversight or gather information for a legislative purpose. No genuine legislative purpose was advanced by Defendant’s alleged conduct," Semper wrote.
Samper did not reach a decision on the congresswoman's motion to toss the charges.
"From the beginning, this case has been about trying to intimidate me, stop me from doing oversight and keep me from doing my job," McIver said in a statement. "It will not work. I will keep standing up to protect people, and the court’s denial of my motions does not change that fact.
"I am not in this fight only for myself, and I am concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration," she added. "This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people and our country."

McIver seems to have the attitude of, “I’m right about everything. All the time. It is impossible for me to be wrong. About anything. I am 100% awesome.”
It’s a common personality trait these days. But not a good one.
I’m shocked that it’s gotten this far in the courts.
District Judge Jamel Semper - a black judge appointed by Biden!
Pigs do fly!
Obviously this “judge” doesn’t understand the concept of “the law doesn’t apply to me.”
It took 41 pages to say that?
That poor judge will probably be a leftist’s target now.
INB4 the “Racism”, “Sexism”, and “Political retribution” cards are played.
There is probably some boilerplate, and the need to address some laundry list of claims by her attorney. They just gave you the highlights.
If McIver does go to jail watch her closely. She can use a paper clip, lemon juice and foil from a stick of chewing gum to short out surveillance system for her cell and convince her guards to open the door as she used a combination of prison kitchen spices and chemicals to set off an explosion, and she’ll rush out as the guards helplessly cough and try to see where she went. Which was to get into the laundry cart being pushed up the ramp onto the truck to leave the prison.
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES
