“US Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver has been indicted for ‘forcibly impeding and interfering’ with federal law enforcement over a recent confrontation outside an immigration centre. A scuffle occurred during her visit to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centre in Newark, New Jersey, on 9 May. … Ms McIver, who faces a maximum term of 17 years in prison, has called the charges a ‘brazen attempt at political intimidation’ and says she will plead not guilty. A federal grand jury in New Jersey brought the three-count indictment against Ms McIver on Tuesday. It replaces the two assault charges that she previously faced.” (06/11/25)
