Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba just charged Rep. LaMonica McIver.
McIver faces Title 18 counts for assaulting and impeding law enforcement.
But she says she didn’t do nothing.
This is all a political, she says. Though video captured at the scene tells a different story.
The incident occurred outside Delaney Hall earlier this month.
Charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka were dismissed.
Both moves were announced in a post and letter on X Monday.

Fox News reports:
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba is charging Rep. LaMonica McIver for her alleged misconduct toward law enforcement in front of Delaney Hall earlier this month, but she is dismissing the trespassing charge against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
“Today my office has charged Congresswoman McIver with violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1) for assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement,” Habba said in a post on X on Monday.
In a letter posted with the comment, Habba announced that after extensive consideration, she was dismissing charges against Baraka.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was charged with class C misdemeanor trespassing at the facility, which is privately operated by the GEO Group, last week, and he had his first court appearance on Thursday, which Habba personally attended.
“We believe that I was targeted in this,” Baraka said outside the courtroom after his appearance.
Baraka and three congressional lawmakers – McIver, Robert Menendez Jr., and Bonnie Watson Coleman were outside the ICE facility last week with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in. All four officials then allegedly rushed through the gates past security, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security.
“If it was a typical U.S. citizen, and they tried to storm into a detention facility that’s housing dangerous criminals or any person at all, they would be arrested,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told “Fox News Live” host Kevin Corke Saturday. “Just because you are a member of Congress or just because you’re a public official, does not mean you are above the law.
ADVERTISEMENTHowever, McIver and others allege that “ICE created chaos” and instigated the situation.
Habba, your turn:

Will justice be served?
Nick Sortor posts that this carries up to 8 years in federal prison.
The real question is, will she be able to wear those glasses in prison so she’s able to let everyone in there know she’s a liberal?
This carries up to EIGHT YEARS in federal prison
LOCK HER UP AND PERP WALK!
