Democrat Lawmaker Charged

Department of Justice (DOJ) US Attorney Alina Habba recently announced that she was filing charges against Democrat Representative LaMonica McIver (NJ) after the latter had an altercation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Attorney Habba filed charges against Representative McIver for the latter’s alleged “assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement.”

Habba claims the charges were her last option, which she ultimately resorted to after McIver “declined” to cooperate with the DOJ to find an alternative resolution.
