Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) refuted claims of physically assaulting an ICE officer during a confrontation at Delaney Hall Detention Center, where Newark's Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested. McIver appeared distressed by the incident, which escalated while lawmakers attempted an oversight visit. She rejected accusations of trespassing and assault, asserting that the confrontation was provoked by the actions of federal agents. During an interview, she emphasized the absence of supportive video evidence for the claims against her, highlighting the chaotic nature of the situation that led to Baraka's detention.
I want to go back to some of the footage we were looking at, at some, and I want our viewers to see that you are the woman in the red blazer.
Absolutely no. I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There's no video that supports me body slamming anyone.
