Tell the Department of Justice to drop all charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver!

The petition to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi reads:

Representative LaMonica McIver had every right to visit the Delaney Hall detention facility in New Jersey. She shouldn't be charged with a crime for simply doing her job. Drop all criminal charges against her immediately.

In May, Representative LaMonica McIver of New Jersey was part of a group of lawmakers who visited an immigration detention facility in her district. They were delayed from entering by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who created chaos, escalating the situation and ultimately arresting Newark's Mayor Ras Baraka, who was later released.

But only one lawmaker was charged by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and indicted on federal criminal charges: Rep. McIver. We know what this is really about: The Trump regime pleasing its extremist, anti-immigrant, anti-Black, and, yes, anti-woman base by trying to put progressive women leaders like Rep. McIver in "their place" and kick them out of public service. We. Will. Not. Heed.

Sign the petition now to let the DOJ know that we are paying close attention and expect them to drop all charges against Rep. McIver!
