congress mciver immigration detention center charges.

U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver captured the spotlight this month when she was indicted on charges she assaulted officials during an oversight visit to an immigration detention center in May. It’s a rare federal prosecution against a current member of Congress on charges other than corruption or fraud.  Now she’s in court to be arraigned on three charges she assaulted and impeded federal officials — allegations she has said she’d fight. The 39-year-old Newark, New Jersey, native is in her first full term in Congress, and she’s garnered more attention than many members.
