N.J. Congresswoman slammed her forearm into the body of agent, pushed ICE officer, feds allege

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : After being charged Monday night, McIver said in a statement that the charges were "purely political." "Earlier this month, I joined my colleagues to inspect the treatment of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall in my district," McIver said in the statement.
44% : Following Baraka's arrest, McIver also pushed an ICE officer and "used each of her forearms to forcibly strike" the officer as she returned inside the secure area of the facility, the complaint said. McIver's attorney, Paul J. Fishman, called the decision to charge her "spectacularly inappropriate" and said she went to Delaney Hall to "do her job" to see how ICE is treating detainees.
37% : The charges against me are purely political -- they mischaracterize and distort my actions, and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight.
