On the Friday before Mother’s Day, #LaMonica #McIver,
a first-term Democratic congresswoman from New Jersey,
spent the morning handing out roses in the maternity ward of a hospital in Newark.

Her next stop, a visit to #Delaney #Hall, a federal immigration jail in her district,
promised to be a more sombre affair, but she was “on a high note,” McIver told me.

“We thought it would be a smooth day.”
Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

A federal grand jury has indicted Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., on three criminal counts, after the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey alleged that she broke the law when Congress members' visit to an immigration detention facility ended in a physical altercation.

"McIver forcibly impeded and interfered with federal officers
as they attempted to arrest" Newark Mayor #Ras #Baraka
outside the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility in Newark, N.J.,
on May 9,
the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

The indictment lists three counts of
"assaulting, resisting, impeding and interfering"
with federal officers,
with a potential prison sentence if McIver is convicted.

The indictment was announced by interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey #Alina #Habba, Trump's former personal attorney
who briefly served as counselor to the president before being named to the federal prosecutor post in March.

#Alina #Habba
another lawyer (of limited capacity and generally irrelevant)
who ends her (very short) career
thanks to THE #Trump
Trump pushes 'others' to commit crimes (for his benefit)
when they get caught...
Trump distances himself and says he 'doesn't know the facts' (the slimy bastard 🤣)
Habba is just one of a VERY LONG line of people
that Trump has 'screwed'.
Should we feel sorry for Her ?
Of course NOT
Habba is NOT innocent !
