The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with “assaulting” an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.
Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.
The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.
The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
Somehow the article (and your summary) leave out the actual complain.
ABC news: “She is accused of making “forcible contact” with authorities, including allegedly slamming her forearm into a Homeland Security Investigations agent and pushing and using “each of her forearms to forcibly strike” an ICE officer, according to the complaint”.
Sorry, I’m just summarizing the article to practice my writing. if it isn’t in the article I usually won’t catch it. Thanks for the additional context though!

Exactly, trumped up charges so they pretend they have an actual reason to do what Cheeto Mussolini wants.
