The NJ deputy faces the court on Tuesday on a confrontation of the installation of heated ice

A democratic deputy argued not guilty of having pretended to have hindered internal security agents in a highly published altercation outside an immigration establishment last month.

Representative Lamonica McIiver, DN.J., appeared on Wednesday before the court, charged in an indictment with three charges of federal officers who have been hampered by the arrest of the mayor of Newark Ras Baraka in Delaney Hall immigration May 9.

“I pleaded not guilty because I am not guilty, we will fight this,” McIver told supporters outside the courthouse after her appearance, before saying that she was returning to Washington, DC

“In the end, it is political intimidation,” said McIiver. “The Trump administration and its colleagues or friends, or what you want to call them, armed the federal government. They armed the Ministry of Justice and anyone who resists them, whoever criticisms, whoever fights against them is in these hairs in which we are today.”

McIver is now heading to the trial on November 1.

Protesters, including Baraka, rallied outside the court today before the appearance of the McIver court, where he criticized the accusations against her.

“Democracy is in danger as a whole,” said Baraka to the crowd, some of which held reading panels, “protect the rights of migrants and regular procedure” and “we are holding with Lamonica”.

“It has nothing to do with law, it has nothing to do with justice … It is pure intimidation, pure intimidation, it is their opportunity to set foot on our neck to let us know to people that they are in charge. It is the same thing they do here at the national level that they do in Iran, right?”

The crowd sang, “deposit all charges”.

Baraka insisted that the federal authorities had no reason to invoice Mciver. “If you watch the video, it will be justified,” he said.

McIiver and two other members of the Congress said they were visiting congress surveillance which coincided with an immigration demonstration, when a confrontation followed with federal agents.

According to a press release from the MJ, Baraka was authorized to enter the secure area of ​​the installation, then the federal agents warned him to leave, but he refused to do so.

When the police tried to arrest Baraka, Mciver would have blocked them, putting his arms around the mayor and “criticized his forearm” in an officer while entering another and using his two forearms to force the second officer.

Each of the first two charges includes a maximum sentence of eight years in prison. The third carries up to a year.

The accusations are acting as an acting interim lawyer for the district of New Jersey Alina Habba, who represented President Donald Trump between his two presidencies. Habba previously declared that McIver “had attacked, hampered and interfered with the police.”

McIiver denounced the accusations earlier this month, comparing them to the previous attempts of the Trump administration to silence political opponents.

Dem legislators defend “the assault” of the installation of the ice, say that the Trump administrator is “ `at all levels ”

“The facts of this case will prove that I was simply doing my work and that I will exhibit these procedures for what they are: an cheeky attempt at political intimidation,” McIiver said in a statement.

“This accusation act is not more justified than the original accusation and is an effort of the administration of Trump to dodge the responsibility of the ice of chaos caused and frightened me to do the work that I was elected,” she continued.

“But that will not work – I will not be intimidated. The facts are on our side, I will enter a plea of ​​non -culpability, I am grateful for the support of my community and I look forward to my day in court.”

Baraka was arrested but rejected an accusation of intrusion against him.

Meanwhile, the Campaign for Accountability, a liberal surveillance group, filed an ethics complaint on Tuesday with the New Jersey lawyer’s ethics office, accusing Habba of bad ethical misconduct linked to its pursuit of McIiver and the arrest of Baraka.

The complaint alleys that they were politically targeted in retaliation for having participated in the protest and the supervisory visit because their policies conflict with those of the Trump administration.
