Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing federal charges for allegedly assaulting an officer from the Department of Homeland Security during a chaotic melee that erupted outside of an ICE detention facility in her home state of New Jersey, US Attorney Alina Habba said Monday.
On May 19, 2025, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka expressed strong opposition to the proposed construction of a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city, named after LaMonica McIver, a local activist. Baraka argued that the facility would contradict Newark's values as a sanctuary city and could harm the community by fostering fear and mistrust among immigrants. He emphasized the city's commitment to supporting and protecting its immigrant population and called for community resistance against the project. The mayor's stance reflects ongoing tensions between local governments and federal immigration policies.
