Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., walks through a security gate at the Delancey Hall immigration detention center in Newark, N.J., on Friday, May 9. The member of Congress now faces federal charges stemming from her visit to the facility that day.

The indictment was announced by interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba. Rep. McIver says the proceedings against her are "a brazen attempt at political intimidation."
