Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey is set to have her first appearance in federal court on assault charges stemming from immigration officials’ attempt to arrest the Newark mayor outside a detention facility.

New Jersey Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver appeared virtually before a federal judge in Newark this morning after being charged with assault, resisting arrest, and impeding federal officers.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) filed a resolution Wednesday to expel a House Democrat charged with assault of federal officers by the Department of Justice. The expulsion resolution came after Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was charged by a federal prosecutor for a protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in New Jersey.
