Raskin launches probe of McIver charges in ICE facility scuffle

  • Rep. LaMonica McIver was charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer in connection with her involvement in a protest at an ICE facility in 2025.
  • The charges reportedly proceeded without required consultation with the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, amidst reports the Trump administration considered eliminating that office.
  • Ranking House Oversight member Jamie Raskin accused U.S. Attorney Alina Habba of politically motivated prosecutorial abuse aimed at deterring congressional oversight.
  • Raskin criticized Habba’s unprecedented choice to file charges, calling it a clear effort to pressure Members of Congress and discourage them from fulfilling their constitutional role of oversight.
  • Raskin demanded documents and answers by June 10 but lacks subpoena power, raising concerns about enforcing oversight amid allegations of politicized legal actions.
