Rep. LaMonica McIver who assaulted ICE officers as she tried to prevent them from arresting the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey last month, has just been indicted on three charges of “impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers” and she faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted.

Here’s the announcement via US Attorney Alina Habba:

Today a federal grand jury seated in Newark, New Jersey returned a three-count indictment charging U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. This indictment has a maximum penalty of 8 years for Count One, an additional maximum penalty of 8 years for Count Two, and a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison for Count Three.

As I have stated in the past, it is my Constitutional obligation as the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for New Jersey to ensure that our federal partners are protected when executing their duties. While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve.

Today’s decision by the grand jury is the next step in a process that my Office will pursue to a just end.

There are consequences for assaulting law enforcement officers, and McIver is clearly guilty of doing it. Like the state judge in Minnesota, she just ruined her career.
