In response to federal accusations that she attacked ICE agents while visiting a detention facility, President Trump has strongly denounced Democratic Representative LaMonica McIver. After bodycam footage purportedly showed McIver pushing federal agents at a facility in Newark, the former president declared that “the days of that crap are over.” This audacious move highlights the widening gap between Democratic politicians and border security officials while reaffirming Trump’s unwavering dedication to law enforcement.

Facebook manipulated the emotions of almost 700,000 unwary users by changing their news feeds to be more positive or negative in a covert psychological experiment. The startling discovery was made during Joe Rogan’s podcast interview with Harvard historian Rebecca Lemov, revealing how tech companies have unheard-of control over Americans’ emotional states without their consent. Big Tech’s unchecked power to subtly manipulate public opinion and mental health has come under scrutiny in light of this troubling instance of corporate overreach.
“That woman was out of control. She was shoving federal agents — she was out of control,” Trump told reporters, emphasizing his administration’s commitment to law and order should he return to the White House.

Do you support prosecuting Congress members who break the law by interfering with ICE deporting of illegal aliens? https://t.co/xVVi1Hzxkp

The incident involving Rep. McIver occurred at the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, during what was supposed to be a routine congressional oversight visit. U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced federal charges against McIver under Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1) for “assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement.”
Bodycam Footage Reveals Confrontation Details
Sources familiar with the investigation revealed that ICE bodycam footage captured Rep. McIver both verbally and physically assaulting federal agents during the inspection. The delegation, which included other Democratic members of Congress and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, allegedly became confrontational when agents refused specific access requests at the facility.
McIver reportedly became physically aggressive with ICE personnel, directly contradicting her later claims about the nature of the interaction. Federal prosecutors determined the evidence was sufficient to bring charges against a sitting member of Congress, highlighting the seriousness of the alleged misconduct.
Habba firmly clarified that no special treatment would be given: “No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise.” The charges send a strong message about respecting law enforcement officers conducting their duties at detention facilities where illegal immigrants are processed.
Democrat Blames Politics While Trump Stands With ICE
In a statement following the charges, Rep. McIver attempted to shift blame to ICE agents and claimed the charges were politically motivated. She insisted the congressional visit was intended as a peaceful oversight activity and accused ICE personnel of creating an unsafe confrontation.
“The days of that crap are over in this country. We’re going to have law and order,” Trump declared, drawing a clear contrast between his administration’s respect for federal law enforcement and what he views as Democrats’ disregard for border security personnel.
McIver has determined to continue her work despite the charges and thanked supporters while looking forward to court proceedings. Her case represents a growing tension between immigration enforcement agencies and Democratic politicians who have frequently criticized ICE operations and detention policies.
The federal charges against McIver come amid escalating concerns about border security and the treatment of law enforcement officers tasked with managing the immigration crisis. Trump’s sharp condemnation signals that his administration would take a hard line against any officials interfering with immigration enforcement operations.
