Rep. LaMonica McIver appeals felony assault charges from a May 2025 protest, denying guilt and citing legislative immunity.
U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) has appealed a federal judge’s decision to allow her felony assault charges to proceed, stemming from a May 2025 protest at a Newark immigration detention center.
She denies assaulting federal agents, claiming her actions were protected under legislative immunity and that the prosecution is politically motivated.
The case, tied to a chaotic confrontation during a congressional oversight visit, has drawn national attention amid broader debates over congressional oversight and government overreach.
A judge previously rejected her motion to dismiss, finding no evidence of discriminatory enforcement.
McIver, who assumed office in September 2024, continues serving in Congress while the appeal moves forward.
