The US Attorney in New Jersey announced a charge of assaulting, obstructing and obstructing law enforcement related to a May 9 altercation at a Newark immigration facility on Monday night against Rep. Lamonica McQuiver of New Jersey.
Three New Jersey Democrats — officials Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and McQuiber — faced off against the DHS Guard outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center on May 9th, after officers arrested Newark Mayor Rasbaraka. The law allows members of the Congress to visit unpublished immigration detention facilities.
“We gave Representative McQuiver the opportunity to come to resolutions to anything, but unfortunately declined,” said Alina Haba, a US lawyer who previously was President Donald Trump’s attorney in a statement.
In the same statement, Haba said the misdemeanor charges against Baraka had been removed. The other two lawmakers have not been charged.
