Judge rejects Rep. LaMonica McIver’s bid to toss assault case, says her actions had ‘no legislative purpose’

The recent ruling against Rep. LaMonica McIver highlights ongoing tensions between congressional representatives and federal authorities. A federal judge has determined that McIver's alleged clash with federal agents does not fall under her legislative responsibilities, a decision that aligns with broader patterns of scrutiny faced by public officials. This ruling comes amid reports of increased federal presence in various regions, such as Charlotte, North Carolina, where immigration enforcement is intensifying. The implications of these legal challenges reflect a complex interplay between political actions and federal oversight.
