💨 Abstract

LaMonica McIver, a Democrat, will be arraigned on federal charges alleging assault and interference with immigration officers during a visit to a New Jersey detention center. The charges, filed by a Republican interim U.S. Attorney, carry a maximum sentence of up to eight years in prison. McIver, along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, was involved in a protest at the facility, during which video footage shows potential physical contact with officers.
