Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) has been indicted on federal charges for allegedly obstructing Homeland Security agents during an incident outside a Newark immigration detention facility. The indictment accuses McIver of forcibly impeding federal officers during the attempted arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the facility. McIver's attorneys claim the charges are politically motivated, and each count carries a maximum prison sentence. The case has been described as political retaliation by McIver's attorney, with an arraignment expected in the coming weeks.
