Trump DOJ Prosecutes Pregnant Democratic Congresswoman for ICE Oversight
During an oversight inspection at a detention center last year, a confrontation occurred when federal agents attempted to arrest Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka for trespassing. Government attorneys allege that McIver, who is pregnant with her second child, physically interfered with two agents, using her arms to “assault, resist, impede and intimidate.” Despite McIver’s defense that the prosecution is politically motivated and points to pardons of January 6th protesters who caused injuries, U.S. District Court Judge Jamel K. Semper rejected these arguments. McIver has appealed the ruling, and her case is set to be argued before a panel of three appellate judges.
