This seems to be the beginning of a building trend. The Democrats seem to be unhappy with the amount of violence their paid mobs are committing in the name of TDS, hating everything Trump does.
Yeah, obviously this is a bit old, but hey. And a lot has happened since, the stories continue.
- On May 19, 2025, LaMonica McIver, a Democratic congresswoman representing New Jersey, was federally indicted on three charges linked to an altercation outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark that occurred on May 9.
- The charges stem from allegations that McIver obstructed and interfered with federal agents during the apprehension of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside the detention facility amid a congressional oversight visit.
- Delaney Hall is a 1,000-bed privately operated ICE detention center where McIver and other Congress members sought to inspect detainee treatment, leading to a physical confrontation with officers.
- Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba stated the charges carry up to 17 years in prison, while McIver and her lawyer, Paul Fishman, described the indictment as political retaliation and vowed to challenge it in court.
- The indictment represents an uncommon instance of federal criminal charges leveled at a current member of Congress for reasons unrelated to fraud, prompting civil rights organizations and local leaders to voice concerns about political retaliation and threats to constitutional checks and balances.
