McIver Issues Statement on Indictment

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) was indicted following baseless political charges brought by the administration. She released the following statement in response:

“The facts of this case will prove I was simply doing my job and will expose these proceedings for what they are: a brazen attempt at political intimidation. This indictment is no more justified than the original charges, and is an effort by Trump’s administration to dodge accountability for the chaos ICE caused and scare me out of doing the work I was elected to do. But it won’t work—I will not be intimidated. The facts are on our side, I will be entering a plea of not guilty, I’m grateful for the support of my community, and I look forward to my day in court.”
