    The violent left strikes again. ICE officers just doing their job. Democrat Congresswoman this time with the ASSAULT! Why does the left have such a high propensity towards violence?

    ———————

    Stop the violence, violent left.

    The Justice Department charged Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) over a scuffle with law enforcement outside an ICE facility in New Jersey last week.

    Why it matters: McIver is the first federal officeholder targeted by the the Trump administration as they aggressively prosecute politicians who open themselves up to legal liability while opposing the president's mass deportations.

    McIver has strongly denied assaulting law enforcement during the clash, saying she was the one who was assaulted. In a Monday statement, she called the charges against her "purely political" and said they are "meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight."
