New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver appeared in federal court via Zoom on May 21 after she was formally charged in an incident at a Newark ICE facility.

McIver allegedly assaulted and impeded a law enforcement officer during a protest at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark earlier this month.
