Federal Appeals Court Upholds Charges Against Congresswoman McIver

A federal appeals court has ruled that the case against Rep. LaMonica McIver, related to her alleged assault during a confrontation at an ICE facility, can proceed. The court rejected her challenges to the charges and indicated that she lacks immunity in this case. This ruling ensures that multiple criminal charges against her will go to trial, following split decisions regarding claims of selective prosecution. McIver, who is simultaneously campaigning for reelection, faces significant legal battles as the court has green-lighted most of the Department of Justice’s prosecution efforts against her.
