New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver, a Democrat, has been indicted on charges of impeding police, interfering with federal law enforcement and more after she was seen on video apparently breaking into a federal immigration detention center.

The indictment was announced by U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, who promised to hold the Democrats involved in the episode accountable.

McIver pulled her stunt May 9 at Newark’s Delaney Hall, a 1,000-bed, privately owned facility that Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses as a detention center.

McIver claims she was just doing her job at the time.

McIver is accused of obstructing Homeland Security agents during the May 9 incident. The indictment comes from a federal grand jury, which charged she was “forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers.”

“During her continued attempts to thwart the arrest, McIver slammed her forearm into the body of one law enforcement officer and also reached out and tried to restrain that officer by forcibly grabbing him,” the Department of Justice charged. “McIver also used each of her forearms to forcibly strike a second officer.”

McIver claimed, “The charges against me are purely political — they mischaracterize and distort my actions, and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight.”
