John, it’s Congresswoman LaMonica McIver.
The Trump administration just charged me with crimes for engaging in congressional oversight. This is a first -- and it’s a flashing red light for our democracy.
I conducted oversight at an ICE facility in my district to do my job and my lawful right as a member of Congress.
It’s clear: Trump and his administration are more concerned with punishing anyone who dares to speak up than transparency or oversight.
These baseless, politically motivated charges against me make that even more obvious.
We must stand together against an administration that weaponizes law enforcement to persecute its opponents before it's too late. House Democrats stand ready to fight back against Trump's overreach and protect our democracy.
