flag A judge ordered DHS to remove nine prejudicial social media posts about Rep. LaMonica McIver’s detention center visit, citing fair trial concerns.

flag A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to remove nine social media posts related to U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver’s prosecution, calling them prejudicial and potentially damaging to her right to a fair trial. flag The posts, which labeled her May 9 visit to a New Jersey detention center a “reckless stunt,” contradicted her claim that it was lawful congressional oversight. flag Judge Jamel Semper criticized the statements as inaccurate and directed the government to release additional video footage and consider a motion to dismiss based on constitutional oversight rights. flag McIver, a New Jersey Democrat, faces three counts including assaulting federal officers, denies the allegations, and was accompanied in court by fellow lawmakers and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was arrested during the protest and later had charges dropped. flag The case is ongoing, with scrutiny over interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba’s appointment.
