New Jersey congresswoman claims immunity at Third Circuit amid ICE assault charges

U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver faces three federal charges related to an altercation with ICE and Homeland Security officers during a May 2025 incident at Newark's Delaney Hall immigration facility. McIver claims legislative immunity under the speech or debate clause for actions during an oversight inspection, but a federal judge denied her motions to dismiss, prompting an appeal to the Third Circuit.
