Trenton, NJ — Today, Leroy J. Jones Jr., Chairman of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee, released the following statement:
“The charges waged by Donald Trump and Alina Habba against Congresswoman LaMonica McIver are a politically motivated miscarriage of justice. Rep. McIver is a dedicated public servant who arrived at Delaney Hall ICE Detention Center on May 9th with her colleagues to provide oversight, as our Constitution demands of her. Trump and Habba are now attempting to rewrite the reality of what happened—but we can all see with our own eyes how she was attacked for doing her job. Rep. McIver’s resilience in the face of prosecution is a testament to her character and leadership—and we stand with her in this fight for our democracy.”
