A New Jersey congresswoman asked a federal appeals court to throw out charges pending against her for allegedly assaulting federal agents outside an immigration detention facility.
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent during a protest held May 9 outside Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey.
