Fox News: New Jersey Democrat accused of assaulting officers dismisses 'absurd' charges
Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey has been charged with assaulting federal agents during a confrontation at an ICE detention facility. She described the charges as "absurd" and politically motivated, asserting that her actions were part of her duties as a lawmaker.
McIver rejected a plea deal from the Justice Department, claiming it required her to admit to actions she did not commit. The charges stem from an incident where she and other lawmakers allegedly rushed past security at the facility, with bodycam footage cited in the complaint.
