'I will not be bullied': Indicted congresswoman files appeal in war with Trump DOJ

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is filing an appeal after a federal court declined her motion to dismiss the federal charges brought against her by the Trump administration.

McIver is charged with assaulting law enforcement, stemming from an incident earlier in the year in which she and several other Democratic officials were protesting and seeking access to inspect a private, for-profit Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark, that had been constructed in defiance of local ordinances.
