Third Circuit Allows Assault Charges Against NJ Representative to Proceed
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that Rep. LaMonica McIver cannot invoke legislative immunity to block two federal assault charges from a May 2025 oversight visit to an ICE detention facility, allowing those counts to proceed; a third assault count was remanded for further review. McIver contends oversight responsibilities must be protected and is exploring legal options, while a dissenting judge suggested some conduct could be protected by immunity.
