Another Day, Another Democrat Disgrace: LaMonica McIver Slapped with Federal Charges After ICE Showdown
They claim to “protect democracy,” but can’t be bothered to follow the law. That’s the Democrats in 2025—a party so drunk on its own righteousness that even storming a federal facility and allegedly shoving law enforcement is now framed as “congressional oversight.”
Enter: Rep. LaMonica McIver, Democrat from New Jersey, freshly charged with assaulting and impeding federal officers after a meltdown at an ICE detention center in Newark. Because nothing says “we care about public service” like pushing past guards to make a viral moment.
From Oversight to Overreach—Real Fast
On May 9, McIver joined fellow Democrats Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez Jr. for a little PR stunt—er, we mean an “oversight tour”—of the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark. Mayor Ras Baraka tagged along, proving once again that some politicians really think “trespassing” is just a suggestion when you have a blue checkmark.
What followed wasn’t a thoughtful review of policy. It was chaos. Federal officers say McIver physically pushed her way past security, ignoring warnings and triggering what is now a full-blown legal circus.
U.S. Attorney Alina Habba (yes, a Trump appointee—cue the pearl-clutching) announced the federal charges, citing video evidence. That’s right—video. Not hearsay. Not vibes. Actual footage.
Imagine If a Republican Did This…
Let’s play our favorite game: Reverse the Party.
Imagine a Republican congressman charged with assaulting federal officers while storming a federal facility.
The media would break the Emergency Outrage Glass. MSNBC would be holding candlelight vigils. Pelosi would be calling for expulsion. Chuck Schumer would faint on live TV.
But McIver? She’s being called a hero by her colleagues. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claimed the charges were “politically motivated.” Because, naturally, everything is Trump’s fault, even when a Democrat physically pushes a federal agent.
Political Theater Masquerading as Courage
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t brave oversight. This was TikTok activism in a blazer—another desperate attempt by Democrats to score woke points while undermining immigration enforcement.
If they actually cared about the conditions at ICE facilities, maybe they’d talk to agents. Or read a report. Or propose legislation. But no, it’s far more fun to bring your own camera crew, get handsy with security, and cry persecution when the cuffs come out.
McIver claims ICE “escalated” the situation. Of course. It’s never the Democrat’s fault. Even when you’re the one shoving people.
So Who’s Really Above the Law?
Democrats love to shout about the “rule of law” when it fits the narrative. But when one of their own goes full protestor-mode and breaks the rules? Suddenly, it’s all about political context and “accountability theater.”
This wasn’t a misunderstanding. It wasn’t a paperwork glitch. This was a sitting member of Congress accused of committing a federal crime—on camera—while interfering with federal operations. But don’t worry, she says she’s innocent and being targeted for her “principled stance.” Sure. And Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, right?
What Happens Now?
McIver’s legal team is already playing the victim card. Meanwhile, Republicans are calling for her to be removed from committee assignments until the case is resolved—which, by the way, would be the bare minimum for any member of Congress under federal indictment.
There’s also a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing coming up focused on ICE operations. You can bet this incident will be front and center—unless Democrats decide to pretend it never happened, like they do with crime statistics, border chaos, and their own scandals.
Final Thoughts
This is about more than one Congresswoman going rogue. It’s about a Democrat Party that believes laws are for the little people. They demand obedience from the rest of us while treating enforcement agencies like personal punching bags when things don’t go their way.
McIver’s stunt is just the latest example. And as always, the double standard is louder than ever.
