Knewz.com is reporting that two Democratic representatives from New Jersey have protested at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, demanding its closure due to concerns over criminality. Rep. Robert Menendez, Jr. (D-NJ) and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) confronted ICE agents during the protest, with McIver attempting to breach security checkpoints to enter the facility. Delaney Hall houses detainees with alleged gang affiliations.
Regarding claims that McIver body-slammed an officer, she stated, “I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There’s no video that supports me body slamming anyone. We, as Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman said we were simply there to do our job. There for an oversight visit.”
McIver added, “What you watch what you’re watching in the video, and we don’t have all of the body cam, and we hope that all of the body cam is released. It was a very tense situation. It unfortunately did not have to be like that. They created that confrontation. They created that chaos and then ultimately went to arrest the mayor of the largest city of New Jersey, who is my mayor and my constituent. And it was very difficult to watch that happen. But absolutely, I did not body slam anyone.”
U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba [Bimbo #4] reported that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D-NJ) ignored multiple warnings to leave the premises and was arrested for trespassing during the protest. Baraka was released later in the evening amid demonstrations from supporters.
Obviously Bimbo #4 hasn’t watched the video.
