New Jersey Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver has been charged with assault and impeding law enforcement for her actions during a protest outside a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark, New Jersey earlier this month.
During the protest McIver could be seen screaming at and pushing federal agents, saying “I touch whoever I want motherf****r… You will pay!”
Holy shit Rep McIver is an unhinged psychopath. Undercover ICE body cam shows her screeching at federal agents, & physically assaulting them.
“I touch whoever I want MF!… You will pay!”Then goes on TV and plays victim, like a typical dem.

The incident also resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was charged with trespassing – a charge which was later dropped, according to US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba.

McIver was given ample opportunity to come to a peaceful resolution and avoid criminal charges, Habba said, but the congresswoman reportedly declined, Just the News reports. “No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise,” said Habba. “It is the job of this office to uphold justice impartially, regardless of who you are.”
Footage of the protest showed the three lawmakers engaged in a “scuffle” with law enforcement, according to the New Jersey Globe, including McIver who appeared to try to protect Baraka during his arrest.
McIver has denied any wrongdoing and blasted the charges as a partisan attack.
“The charges against me are purely political,” according to a statement by McIver. “They mischaracterize and distort my actions, and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight.”

New Jersey Democratic Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rob Menendez were also involved in the protest but have not been charged with a crime.
Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
Real Americans, Real Wins
Don’t just take our word for it. Thousands of freedom-loving families have already ditched the old system for America First. “Finally, insurance that aligns with our values and actually saves us money,” shares one client. Another raves, “Our small team got big-business perks without the hassle—it’s a game-changer.” These aren’t scripted lines; they’re the voices of patriots who’ve reclaimed control over their health destiny.
