McIver.

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver must face at least two of three federal charges accusing her of assaulting and impeding immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center after federal judge on Thursday rejected her attempt to dismiss the case.
The New Jersey Democrat was charged with three counts of assaulting, resisting, impeding and interfering with federal officials following her May 9 visit to Delaney Hall, a privately owned, 1,000-bed facility in Newark that ICE uses as a detention center.
The government alleges McIver intervened as federal agents attempted to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper turned down McIver's arguments that she is immune from prosecution under the Speech or Debate Clause.
"Impeding an arrest, whether lawful or unlawful, goes beyond any reasonable definition of oversight and, accordingly, exceeds the safe harbor of legislative immunity," Semper wrote in an order published Thursday.

Doesn’t the judge know who she is!!!
“The judge also rejected McIver’s argument that her case amounted to selective and vindictive prosecution by a Republican administration that called her visit to Delaney Hall a “reckless stunt.”
“Defendant has not demonstrated that her prosecution is a result of personal animus harbored by the prosecution,” Semper said.”
I gotta give props to the Biden appointee judge calling balls and strikes. Let’s celebrate the rare occasions when intellectual honesty and legal principle were applied.

GOOD - THROW THE BOOK AT HER
McIver.
The govt alleges McIver intervened as federal
agents attempted to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper turned down McIver’s arguments
that she is immune from prosecution under the Speech or Debate Clause.
“Impeding an arrest, whether lawful or unlawful, goes beyond any reasonable definition of oversight and, accordingly, exceeds the safe harbor of legislative immunity,” Semper wrote.
It’s so satisfying seeing these loathsome, entitled bastards getting a dose of their medicine.
"Impeding an arrest, whether lawful or unlawful, goes beyond any reasonable definition of oversight and, accordingly, exceeds the safe harbor of legislative immunity"
Mama cursed her with “LaMonica.” The only thing missing is the apostrophe: “La’Monica.”
Mama cursed her with “LaMonica.”
Maybe she was a Raiders fan and named her after Daryle Lamonica.
I’m sure a short investigation would show that she is also guilty of ripping off SNAP benefits.
Betcha she’s cursing like nobody’s business now.
LaMonica McIver, a U.S. Representative, faces federal charges for allegedly interfering with law enforcement officers during a confrontation at an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, in May 2025. The charges accuse her of assaulting officers while attempting to impede the arrest of the Mayor of Newark and subsequently pushing and grabbing an agent. McIver has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which she and her supporters claim are a result of political intimidation and her efforts to conduct legislative oversight.
Incident Details: On May 9, 2025, McIver and other members of Congress were conducting an oversight visit at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. During the visit, federal agents moved to arrest the Mayor of Newark, Ras J. Baraka, on trespassing charges.
Allegations: The Department of Justice alleges that McIver slammed her forearm into an officer, forcibly grabbed him, and used her forearms to strike a second officer while trying to impede the mayor’s arrest.
McIver was indicted on three felony counts of forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers.
McIver’s Defense: McIver has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Her legal team argues that her actions were not malicious but were the result of a chaotic scrum and that the charges are politically motivated and an attempt to punish her for her oversight role. They claim the incident was sparked by the agents’ actions and that she was pushed by an officer.
Current Status: A federal judge denied her motion to dismiss the charges in November 2025, allowing the case to proceed.
I’m sure a short investigation would show that
she is also guilty of ripping off SNAP benefits.
Tip of the iceberg.
She also has a hefty Congressional budget.
“Maybe she was a Raiders fan” — LOL...a distinct possibility!
A true FAFO person, isn’t she?
A true FAFO person, isn’t she?
She FAffed.....and lost.......snx.
That only applies for speech inside the House Chamber.
She thinks she’s somehow immune from that due to some Speech or Debate Clause? She might as well commit murder and try that defense.
